Joey's quote was $450 on the hood and fender, they are brand new panels sat in the warehouse, now in the garage. Hard to spend ~$500 on a car that is worth $1500.

prep work isn't my thing, I'm looking to pay around $1000 or less for a full service paint job any suggestion?

Maaco or someone's garage is probably the only place you will find that price for what you want.

That won't even cover materials to get a whole car prepped. 1000 dollar paint job is single stage with runs, shit coverage, and zero prep

They do indeed do great work, however its not likely they'll do an all over.

I worked at one of the shops for a bit and we always tried to avoid them. Its near impossible to turn a profit on an all over without charging 4-5k
