Maybe...it would be in my area. Find out what he plans for prep/etc. The cheapest painter I use only charges ~$30/hour but he'd want more than that.

Kinda late but... $2200? That's much too low. Around $7000 is what you want to
be looking at for a decent job.

A quality paint job costs real money today. The labor cost alone is tremendous.
