i had to spend about 7k for a all around but that was plus some body work. for a good paint paint job you would them to remove each and every moulding. Not just tape around them.

A paint job could go high as 20-30K for multiple coats, taking car apart, 2or 3 wet sands, etc.
On the low end, I wouldn't want a paint job that cost less than 2K. Unless you had a serious hookup and did part of the work yourself.
I had a friend who would charge literally pennies (cost of supplies plus a tip) but I had to take things apart, do some sanding and taping...the things you don't need a lot of training for.

Well,, depends on how much you value the car and if you plan to keep it for awhile. I had a friend do my 92 last summer and mine ran around $2k but the results were well worth it to me. There were alot of problem areas, which bothered me, that I wanted gone. Now that I went ahead and took the plunge, I was glad that I did. My car went from this,,

I have so many miles on it I too wonder if it is worth it. I like the car so much though I can't see me getting rid of it when I replace it wit ha 430 as daily driver. I have done so many specific one off mods I would like to hang onto it.
