$7000 paint job

Yeah it adds up quick. Even doing just a pretty clean all over paint your talkin 2k to 3k easy if no body work is required. And for a super nice paint job your talkin bout 5k at least for paint if no body work is required, but depending on the body work required and paint color choice it's not hard to be in the 8k to 12k range. That's assuming you take it to a body shop, but one thing to remember your average body shop is probably averaging 50-60 dollars an hour for labor.
