Need New Paint!

this is the problem;



The paint on the hatch is like this too,
The shop said they will not paint just the top of this panel and blend into the quarter panels, but They will paint the entire quarters and top panel and the hatch for $600. Should I do this?
The paint on the hatch is like this too

The rest of the paint is in very good shape;

If you are happy with the rest of the paint go for it. Personally I'd save up for an entire new paint job, but that's just me speaking.

The blue 78 TA is mine, It has a new interior, saving for bodywork on it too, and rebuilding an engine.
