1000 is the bare minimum i woudl expect for a decent job and that will prob have some runs in it too.. 2000 and youll be happy, 3-6 and you better baby the sucker or else a little ding or scratch will make you cry... i would never spend more than 2 gs on a paint job cuz i honestly dont need a hand sanded paintjob.. but yeah 2 gs is a good price for a good job.. and if youre not happy you can alawyas complain hehe
