You'd have to ask the guy who's going to spray it. You'd be amazed how much prices vary for painting.
I'd say that's a lot for a bonnet, but I guess they're rare-ish.
On the other hand, if you plan on getting the rest of your car sprayed as well, the extra for spraying your existing bonnet isn't going to be the full price of just getting a bonnet sprayed. Depends on how much prep work is needed as well. You need to ask a sprayer though bud.

My first BB1 developed some sort of rash so I punted it around about 6 body shops and the best price was £165 and the worst £215 and that was 10 years ago and the bonnet was straight with no dents,dings or scratches!
I have kleptomania,
But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
