Default Getting a paint job done on my 01 gt

My car had some problems on the passenger side quarter panel so its about to get painted this week. I've had 4 different estimates and they are $300, $500, $550, and $985. Kind of a big difference in price if you ask me. Now since this is zinc yellow I have heard that there is a lot of blending involved because this color is nearly impossible to get exactly right. Is that true or is someone blowin smoke up my ***? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

Anyone know how to attach pictures to this? I have no clue.

i read this and thought you were getting a full paint job!! than i saw the prices and said ohh just the quarter panel... i would think that it would be $300 at the most..

Yeah thats what I thought but I am hearing that because of this color it has to be blended into the door, truck, spoiler, etc. Not sure what to do.

well that MIGHT just be true.. i know my color fades, so if i ever needed to get one piece re-painted, they would need to blend it

but my bumper is not blended into the rest of my car and it doesnt look dumb --that just might be bc its lower to the ground than a quarter panel though..

research if your color fades.. if it does, than i would imagine $300 is fair.. still seems kinda high though
