I painted my first car 5 years ago, VL Calias, My old mans a painter by trade and runs a paint shop in FTG, and it still cost me $6,000 with all the labor for free and the materials cost price. if you do it probably it can be pricey, but there are always gonna be the cheap jobs for $1500, but then you end up with over spay on everything.
Try Style Rod Panels in Croydan, i hear they do some cheap but decant work at times.
