If it includes blending as well, I'd say that's a good price.

That's alot. I got my fenders for $199.00 shipped. Don't know about painting mine was done along with a lot of other stuff. All the have to do is fit the fender and paint, no bending is required. Was that $199 shipped for both fenders, or was it $199 for each fender? If that was the total cost for both fenders, that would mean that the body shop would be charging you around $300 - $400 for the paint/install. A little steep IMO.

Well the x-1 fenders are fibergalss so a GOOD bodyshop should
Sand and finished the fenders
glazed them to remove all pinholes and imperfections
test fit
make adjustments where nessacary
paint both sides
install
blend and clear coat outer side
I would say no more than 500 for both.
