i would charge 300, material isn`t cheap and my labor rates aren`t either
just to give you a rough idea a gallon of ppg dcu 2021 clear is 160
so on average about 300 some shops might be more ya never know until ya get estimates done

but he wouldn't need a gallon, probably a pint would work.....for my car a pint of blue was about $55 bucks, then you need reducer, clearcoat and hardner....so if you did it yourself id say at least a hundred bucks. labor varies per shop, but guess aobut 60 bucks an hour

so yeah, like big daddy said, probably about 300 bucks

Im not sure how much they charge for yellow but, a quart of GM Flame Red costs me about $120 as to a quart of GM Black costs about $50. But then again you don't need anywhere near a quart. Best advise is to take it to a few shops and get some estimates.
