Then if it's just a scratch then no way i'd pay that much. Mine was dented on the front fender, knocked the Camaro letters off and totally exposed bare metal about an inch round circle. Dealership repaired it to brand new with a flawless paint match for $380.

Your shop states only $39 for materials so no way they are doing anything other than a touch up job. Actual paint and clear would cost more than that for just the paint alone. They are trying to screw you with a touch up job and hundreds and hundreds of dollars in bogus labor.
