Current quotes for paint jobs around here is around $400 per panel!
My Oldest son works as a painter in a body shop.
He's offered to do a paint job on my Minor when I'm ready.
We'll do the prep work at home, and then he'll do the painr job for the cost of
the materials - which will be at the shops'cost -- about $750.
That doesn't include the cost of using the paint booth which we'll be using
over a few weekends and which we hope to get for a discount!.
So, with labour around $50/hour (at least) $1000 would not go far enough
towards a decent job!

Now that someone else has spoken the words I dint want to voice I will chime
in. As Lester states $1000 for body work and paint is nothing. Using the
cheapest products out there, there isn't 500.00 labour left in the 1k price
quoted.
