Its not cheap, 5 grand is high But not unreasonable, Its amazing the quality you get from the factory. If you do a lot of prep yourself, $1500-$2000 can be done. Do not think Maacos $199 will make u happy.
I remember taking a 1982 Capri, i put a 351 in back in 1985 I was 18 to Earl Shieb, If you dont know him he used to have ads on the east coast saying "ill paint any car for $99.99" I put down the Plus the $35 to Mask the windows. No kidding they will paint the glass if you dont pay. The painted the top sidewalls of my tires. It was primer when i took it in. And they just paint. If theres a clump of dirt on the rear Quarters, They would paint over it. Dam if it wasnt the Blackest Black you ever seen, And it looked sharp for 2 weeks. I washed it at the local carwash and Put lines all in the paint job from the brush. And that winter, all the paint Popped and cracked off the urethane bumpers. But yes i got my $99 worth
Where ever you go, check the shop out. All paint jobs look pretty good when they are first done.
Cheapest ive paid for Paint since was $1200 to a good friend.
