From metalwork all done and in feather fill to finished paint job, including taking everything apart and painting inside and outside (inside cab, jambs, dash, under fenders and hood) , reassemble the cab, doors, fenders and hood to get the gaps all set, color sand and buff - right about $10k

That's a non-metallic color. Ask what he's proposing for material - I like PPG and Sikkens. Make sure his clear top coat is top quality stuff.

Red will cost more - usually has the most expensive pigment

I wouldn't hire any painter that I didn't see his booth setup and work area - plus some of his work product. Make sure he's productive and your job has status in his queue - you want to stay out of 'paint prison'

YMMV
