That's not right. The cost of the paint alone to do my sides was over 100$, it's OEM deep Fuschia, (purple with a pearl)
Also many fiberglass body pieces on the market are very porous and require a lot of prep work to have a decent paint job and not have an assload of little pinholes and fisheyes. 250$ in not unreasonable at all if you want quality work.
