I suppose most reputable shops would be in the $3000 range. The fading isnt such a problem with the urethane paints from what i gather. 3k certainly isnt a rip off! Im not trying to dog on your potential decision. Just trying to share my story. Granted i did have trouble with my paint job after it was done, but i wouldnt have if i would have taken it to a different maaco to begin with. Here is some pics of my before,
:edit: Removed my pics to save space.
Here is how i dropped it off,
I ended up getting all the body work done and the paint job and everything for $1550 out the door. And thats with urethane base/clear. Might not be possible for you depending on your proximity to various paint shops. I feel like im coming off like a jerk! Im really just trying to be helpfull and let you know that it could be worth shopping around. But if you like the guys work, and your happy with the price (especially the fact that he will take payments! THat would go a long way to make my mind up!) then you can sleep easy knowing that you wont regret your choice.
