That's it?!? That's actually pretty cheap for the whole car. Like others have said - ask the guy for samples of his work. If he's proud of his work, he'll have no problem showing you some examples of past jobs.

Sounds too good to be true. I was quoted $4000 - $5000 to repaint the whole car (its white), including door jambs, under hood and trunk. I decided a white car is just as fast as a red one. Now I love it the way it is, except for the stone chips all over the front of the hood. That's going to cost about $400.00 to repaint.

Which includes...

Body work
Door jams and trunk
And he remove all emblems handles and miscellaneous stuff

My question is, do this sound like a good deal?

Ok whats the current color of your monte and will he replace all the decals he takes off? They get kinda high. Oh most important look at his other joobs

Not really. Thats a fair price for a quality paint job.
