over here in uk 2000 seems about the norm, depends a lot on a group of guys doing work or a guy on his own, they all can let slip a bit of quality control if not kept a eye on, times money, they can hit a motor with color in a morning, but prepping in stages can take 3-4 weeks, ive been happy with prices up to now, but its not unheard of paintwork costing 5-10k in london area, how deeps you pocket type of thing
