436 is the total? Seems reasonable. They have to completely repaint the rear bumper, pop the dent on the door, and possibly respray that as well.

No no, $566 is the total. That's only for painting the bumper not including removing the dent nor painting the door.
They told me that they will have dent doctor to remove the dents and sand down the paint so that the scratches on the dent will not be noticeable. But additional costs will be added.

Hmmmm, hard to say just from looking at the pics, that may be a bit high. Have you looked elsewhere at all? Got any second opinions anywhere?

It is a bit high. I thought so too. I haven't asked elsewhere. This is the body shop that acura recommended and certified. They said that factory paint will be used.
I am abit worried asking elsewhere because they may not be able to match the NBP paint on my teg.

That alone tells me that the price is too high. But on the other hand, at least you'd know the paint was good quality, and they're recommended. For me personally, I would pay a little more to have a better, long lasting results, but that's me.

I tend to agree with you. I want the same too for my car. Pay extra for more perfection.
