They would come to my house and work on the vehicle, I just had to put it on jackstands and remove the wheels. All my supplies, but they used their own tools. I have already done all the metal work/rust repairs.
That's a good start. Add a couple hundred (min) for primer, sand paper and tape. Then you can add the cost of paint, clear, more tape and supplies and don't forget the cost of a booth rental and a tow truck and a painter. Then do you want it cut and buffed to a mirror like finish? Then add another grand or two.

Not trying to scare anyone off, but these are real numbers for a real paint job.
