Cost of a cheap paint job?

What could I expect to pay for a pretty cheap paint job?

Just primer and spray the exterior, the inner hood fenders and door jams etc. don't need anything.

The car in question is an 84 TA so It doesn't exactly warrant a concours job.

cheap paintjobs suck. No seriously, they suck. After a few years most will start peeling.

If you get a cheap paint job...have it wet sanded to get all the orange peel out.

And dont think that because you do it yourself your time is free..... Just think of what time will be when you have to spend over 100+ hours preparing for the actual paint ..... the second time around........Just take your time and do all the prep work yourself right then maybe... justy maybe get someone to spary it for you if you arent able. This means lotsa sanding, filling, sanding, priming, sanding.. and ..OH YEAH did I mention sanding??????
