Cost to repaint a rocker panel?

What do you think is a fair price to pay to have a rocker panel repainted?

I paid $300 at a GM certified body shop. I was having some other work done so that price reflects that they had the paint mixed already.

It varies from state to state and what the dealer charges in your area.

I paid $740 for a complete replacement rocker panel including paint and labour. Did a curb check shortly after I bought it and the rocker panel was FUBAR.

My rocker is ok, but someone repainted it already and did a Bad job of matching the paint. I didn't realize it was re-painted until I drove it home this weekend. Don't you just love realizing these things after you buy the car?

That does not sound like too bad of a deal. I here the rockers are real labor intensive to replace.
