When I had my 350z, I got the front bumper painted for $300. I felt that was a decent deal and I know he gave me a discount when I offered to pay cash. As others have said, pearl white is a tri-coat which makes a very difficult (almost impossible to match). I would never (again) paint sections of a tri-coated vehicle unless I absolutely had to. The guy does great work, but my paint did not match 100%. Most people probably didn't notice it though. Then again, many cars come from the factory with slightly mismatched body panels. Painting on plastic vs metal is two different things.
