Default getting the rear fender painted opinions?

My rear fender color doesn't match due to the previous owner laying down the bike and putting a nice dent on the tank. I found a guy on craigslist
says he will paint the fender for 100 bucks. Is that too much to spend
on getting one fender painted? what do ya'll think?

Pretty cheap for painting any part.

Agreed. The body shop where I work usually charges $40-$60 for a regular sized car mirror. $100 for a bike fender is good.
