I paid three hundred for side skirts, rear skirts and wing mirrors off my local dealer. It was 7 years ago though on an my98 uk turbo.

take a look at www.mroscoobystyling.co.uk, they offer the service for about half of what you've been quoted.

Are they plastic skirts on these cars? If so, the plastic will need to be treated first to make the paint stick. A cheaper quote/job will look ok for a while until it starts to peel off.

Mine cost me £200 quid... but the guy that does my painting knows me... car is always being polished etc... and he knows from previous experiences... any black plastics I want colour coding are gonna want alot of preping, cleaning for the paint to stick... cause I use alot of auto glym bumper care on them...
In the end, you pays your money you takes your choice...
Having both bumpers, n/s rear quater, the bits under the back lights and front grill done next... £350 quid...
