The prices mentioned here sound kind of low, if they apply to paint jobs where the color is going to be changed. A good paint job has got to be incredibly labor intensive: You have to strip off all the trim (carefully!!) and remove all the glass and the rubber seals around it. To prepare the body you have to sand it, and you may have to sandblast it. Then you have to clean up all the dings, dents and rusty spots. Then you can start to think about paint. Depending on the car and the level of fanaticism on the part of the owner, you may have to pull the engine too, in order to clean and paint the engine compartment.
