Dupont and PPG both make excellent quality paints, but any shop that does this on high end cars will be using a good paint. The real quality is in the preparation and application, even more so than in the materials themselves.

I would say $8-10K easy. And thats assuming, that the original color is going to stay the same, and that there is no real damage that has to be repaired. Also, I agree with Blue 2000s regarding quality work that can be found coming out of "small garages". In all my years as a car enthusiast, finding a skilled "painter" has always proven to be one of the most difficult tasks. Over the years, I have seen literally "concours" quality paint work and restoration emerge from some of the most spartan and basic of shops. On the other hand, I have witness utter "crap" being pushed out the doors of some of the most sophisticated facilities.
