The main problem a lot of people don't realize is the cost of materials like sand paper, tape grinding wheels, primers, fillers, and paint are through the roof. I almost fell over when I had to pay 90.00 to fill my bottle for the welder. Needless to say I found another spot to have it filled after that time. I have been averaging for materials around 2000-2500. Every car is different. Now add in parts and labor and things start to add up very quickly. It really depends on the car and what needs to be done but in todays world I agree a paint job is in the 12-20k range.
With he cost of materials why would you want to pay all that money and have a chance the original paint might react with new paint. I recommend getting all the old paint off, resolve the rust issues then epoxy prime, prime then paint. It's the only way to protect you investment.
