Seems a bit high. i got my rear bumper + diffuser painted for around 600, 2 colors. Paint match was spot on.

By the book it's on the high side of retail.

Offer him cash and see where the numbers go

Silver is pretty hard to match too.

Thanks for the heads up fellas. Cant really offer cash because it is a bmw, chevrolet ect... body shop so they do corporate car dealer work. Just gotta shop around a bit i guess. Considered that route because im military so i dont know the area (reputable shops) around here. I figured might as well play it safe and have them do it but after the quote i feel slightly hammered.

To take a screen shot on iPad, hold down home button then press lock button. Also quote is about half as much as normal good quality paint job. Looks like they added a BMW tax for you.
