I knew I'd elicit a comment or two like that and a lot of it depends on who's doing the work and what they charge. If somebody can get satisfactory work done cheaper than I can more power to them!
I've had a *LOT* of cars painted by a *LOT* of guys, and I know what it takes to satisfy me. The guys who're good enough for top museums and for the highest-level concourses won't repaint most cars for $6K because it simply takes them more time than that (the out-of-sight areas finished as nicely as the hood, etc.). As I said, it's all time/materials and my good guy's rate is well under the norm (~$30/hour *less* than another shop I use).
