re: How much could I get this car painted for?

$2k might (MIGHT) cover a basic paint job with no body work. Good luck getting someone to do the body work, prep the car properly and lay good paint for less than $5k. Not if you are talking factory look paint. I budgeted a classic car build and was stunned when the paint I wanted (full prep, three coats, center stripe and clear coat) came to over $10k.

It depends, you could go to MAACO and pay $300 to get a paint job that might range in quality from shite-tastic to passable. Or you might have to pony up and pay 2k and up for a shop to do the necessary prep work to remove imperfections before painting.
Um no, if he wants a good paint job, he is looking at spending at least $5,000.

That's why I added the "and up" part. He didn't provide specifics on how damaged the car was.
