I'd say try taking a razor blade to the paint if it is pretty old and worn and then use a dual action sander w/ 80 grit. As for paint job it depends. The amount of bodywork that needs to be redone, the paint used, the color, and the final finish. The cheapest I would go is take the car to a body shop and have them prep the car and then have Macco paint it since they can get paint so cheap. Macco is bad at body prepping so thats the cheapest I'd go. Probably $1500. Most decent body shops will charge at least $3000 to start with full paint jobs. Also the darker the color you get the more body work you need to do to get the final product to look nice.
