12 years ago I was quoted 6500 to paint a 67 bug that was already in primer. said another way, materials alone for a two tone job would be almost 3k for the cheapest base/clear out there.

I dont usually like discouraging anyone, and I dont know the market where you live, but I think 5k here would find the most desperate drug addicted painter in my area to park my truck in his garage for 3-4 years, eventually needing a court order to get it back.
