[SCOTI]

I know guys in this business and that price isn't out of line for the job your asking.

Think about it.... epoxy priming every sq inch, inside & out. Then metal working inside & out. It doesn't matter if the panels are NOS, they will have dings that need to be bodyworked to get them perfectly flat. Time consuming. Now put it all together to check & fit the gaps.... 1/8" all around fitting & adjusting as needed.

Look good? Ok, 1st coat of high build primer. Block your arse off. 2nd coat of high build primer, block your arse off. Final coat for those imperfections you will find & your almost ready..... almost ready . . .....

....to take it all back apart so you can properly get all those jambs & hard to reach areas w/that fresh coat of paint. Then apply 1st coat of paint.... 2nd..... 3rd.

How good is he? If he's the best, chances are he still put his 'signature' somewhere in that paintjob & is going to do some localized sanding to remove it. Ok, now it's time for clear x1, x2, x3.

Reassembly after drying. Realigning panels again. Colorsand w/1000grit to remove blemishes & orangepeel. Now do it again w/even finer grit. Now it's time to buff w/cutting compound...... finer compound...... polishing compound.... swirl remover..... and yes, it still has to have all the trim put back on.

It's alot of frickin work. No, I'm not a painter/bodyman by trade. But.... I've done a couple & know it's alot of frickin work. I would say close to 3K in materials + all the labor & you'll be close. Anywhere from 10-13K for a top quality show job is realistic.
