You will need to paint the wings and maybe the front bumper if it is fully colour coded. Saying that, I charged £400 to do a front end on a Lupo a while back.

You need to have the shade matched using colour chips against the rest of the car too... Using the colour code isn't good enough.

Was just about to say that, painting a normal color, no probs, painting mettalics is shit, if your painting the whole panel, you have to blend into other panels to make it look right.

Our work is 28 pound an hour labour, then plus materials etc.

It makes no difference what kind of paint it is, you will need to blend it.
