4k is not really expensive for minor body work & show paint. My Red/White '71 4x4 LWB would have been between 6 & 7k for minor body work and show paint, luckily I was able to swap work with the guy. I think anyone that saw it would tell you that the paint job was pretty much flawless. The guy that painted it was a hobbyist that painted in his two car garage.
