I just paid 3500 for mine, 2pac white, there was not much body work as it was very strait with very little rust to begin with, if you want a bare
metal job, I was quoted 4000+, but I was told mine did not need this.
Going buy the comments at Dubs by the pub, it was worth it!

I was quoted $1200 recently, and I've seen the guy's work. He gets a bit of orange peel, but that can be cut out later. Its a pity he's
not open to the general public, he's my neighbour.

or the cheapest and meanest is the flat black paint brush job 4 ltrs $70 you add some penatrol to remove brush marks,no worries ,ive done it and it
looks heaps better than the previous spay job,no point spending money on paint if the rust isnt fixed propley,

Hi Coolaride-
It really depends on your budget; 2pac, enamel or acrylic?
*Rubbed back then resprayed over is usually the cheapest.(2pac will be more)
*As above with all glass out(which the cost of new seals is added)
*Bare metal respray with all glass out(added cost for rust work)
If you try and do as much as you can yourself the labour cost is often halved ie: rub it back, fill dents, masking etc.
Just remember that materials from a quality paint brand alone can cost $1000+(depending whether its a base color, metallic or pearl)
