Painting a 350Z

Hey all, looking for a bit of insight here as all the quotes are coming in wildly different. I got into a parking lot collision which damaged my rear bumper, now it already had some damage from the previous owner so I took it as a sign to just replace the whole thing/upgrade to Shine Auto.
The part that confuses me are the quotes for paint. I’m getting some for $1500usd, other for $750usd, others for $400 usd and it’s got me confused about what would be a fair price.

For reference, I have a 2004 DE in Alpine White.

Appreciate any insight!

Brake Question

Question for you all,
I just recently changed my 350Z axles and hubs for 370Z ones. While I was in there I also changed brake pads and rotors, but now I’m feeling a slight “shifting” when I take off or come to a stop. I’m wondering if I should’ve used 370Z rotors? On Amazon it says that 2009 370Z WILL NOT FIT 350Z. Thoughts? Any ideas will help.

Edit: I must add that I “upgraded” to Amazon Powerstop slotted rotors

Grinding like noise coming from rear wheel at low speeds.

I need some help diagnosing this sound, came out of nowhere. Gut says rear break pads but I figured I would’ve heard a lot more squealing before going right to grinding. I inspected the dust shield and no obviously bending in it. Has this happened to anyone before?

Edit: This noise happened after 2 days after I did a diff fluid change at 100K miles using 75W-90 GL5. Seems unlikely but I thought I’d mention it.
