Re: Has anyone had just the black parts painted...

Your prices are quite high for a spray requiring no body work. I'd expect to pay around $400-500 for the job at my local shop with quality auto paint and clear then a 90 day finish polish. Heck for $3000 cash I got everything but my engine bay painted on the TVR including about 100 hours of fixing spiders, sanding to bare, primer and door r&r.

10 years ago I had my mirrors and sails painted along with the front fender repaired and paid $350. Depending on the capability of the painter the sails do not need to come off (mine didn't and a CR writer would never know they were painted). I wouldn't hesitate to leave the decision in the hands of the painter once you've found the shop you want.
