I would think 1k for a car is still cheap.

Do it right the first time unless you want to pay more in the end. That's the best advice I can give.
Yeah i normally pay about 200 for my paint materials. The color changes the prices.

I know a couple of shops in the area that can do you an all over paint job that is very decent for 1000ish dollars. Ive seen a few and they were good, vinh's body shop in hapeville did my blackroof and hood on my blue car. came out really nice.
