$2500 for paint black out?

I have a GLC 63 I want to black out. Maybe im wrong here, but I just dont want to deal with any potential peeling or maintenance issues with wrapping it (I've always done paint, no experience with wraps). I want to do the whole car (Door handles, front grill with star, lower front lip, rear tail light bezels, rear star, window mouldings). I was quoted $2500 for paint, which seems a little high. Can someone in South OC point me in the right direction? Im not sure which way to go at this point?

Thanks

It sounds like they quoted you about right. It takes time to take everything apart, prep and prime it properly, and paint it, then reinstall.

Yep, that's why I wrapped mine. It was $500. If I kept cars longer I would use paint but no worth it since I never seem to keep them past 2 years.

My buddy just got a quote from Custom Koncepts in FTW, TX for $1200 for his E63S Wagon.
