I would like to hear more about auto painting, since I might be
undertaking one or two restoration jobs in the next year. 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.
