To do it right:
Soda Blast/Strip paint: 400
DP-40 Epoxy Primer: 120
2K Primer Surfacer:120
2 Qts Base Coat: 60-150
1 Gallon Reducer:45
2 gallons clearcoat: 180
Misc Supplies:100
Total:925 MINIMUM
This is assuming no major bodywork required.
Strip Trim: 3 hours
mask: 2 hours
prime: 3 hours
Bodywork: ?? Cant tell without seeing car 2-24 hours
Primer-Surfacer:3 hours
Block sand: 8-12 hours
Retape/mask: 2 hours
Basecoat:2 hours
Clearcoat:3 hours
Unmask: 1 hour
Rehang Trim: 4 hours
Colorsand Buff: 8-12 hours
Min of 41 hours labor
This is to do it right. It is a bare bones estimate.

I'd like to strip my car and get it cleaned up and have somone local paint it, but I can't get any good responses to who does good work around here. I've seen a few local guys post that they've gotten stuff painted near me, but I still haven't gotten any good estimates. The only ones I've gotten were Maaco (~$700) and a local guy ($2000-20,000). Hopefully I can find someone that can do better quality than maaco for around the same price.
