I paid $1,000 to have a fiberglass hood sanded, filled and repainted OEM paint (previous owner did a crappy job).
sounds like my hood. Wait, i did that myself.  Time to sand and paint again.
Send it to me, I will paint it for you....for only $500.

Any respectable, established, and PROFESSIONAL QUALITY location will accept major forms of payment just as readily. Cash doesn't "talk louder" to an established business.

If it's a small business it will. Credit Card processing costs the business money. Yeah, it's not a lot, but I know I'm happier when I'm paid in cash or check than a CC, because I know I get to keep it all (minus what the state gets for sales tax, but then again that's not mine to begin with).

A typical proper respray will run around $3000(CDN)at a reputable bodyshop,and what you're asking for is basicallt half the car to be painted,so that estimate,which is half of $3000,is justifiable IMO.

1k - 1500.00 for what you quoted is fair as well.. I've gotten alot of things painted over the past 6 years with the Cougar and lastly a full two tone repaint..
if you find a place cheaper than that for all those parts your going to be sorry with the results later.. if you skimp and go with a shotty job you'll end up paying 2-3 times that much later getting it fixed.
don't use price as a gauge of where you will go, you need to go off of word of mouth and by examining samples of their work.
