bobaab pretty much summed it up really well. Last time i spoke with a body shop they said for a perfect finish, they'll sand the paint off to bare metal and work from ground up. Also in your case, they'll have to blend it in with rear quarter panel. In Canada i was charged similarly for door+front fender+rear quarter with full blend in (looking at your dmg it seems like you should only need door+rear quarter panel so it should be less than 1200 imo). Because the color match is difficult with our pearlescent paint, its best you go to a reputable shop otherwise you can end up with terrible paint job or possible end up with non paint match with cheaper short cut costing you more for that 2nd repair job. You won't be happy with terrible repair job, so better to take your money, go to a good shop, pay up and get it done properly first time.
