    I would say the only person who knows the answer to this will be the painters that you offer the job to. The cost of having it done will vary wildly, depending on who you pick, and what you will settle for.

    I am on the low side for pro custom painters, who may charge up to 10K-$15K. I don't do simple schemes, but have found that at $30 an hour, a rod usually soaks up $7500-$10K in hours and quality materials. (The paint and prep materials will run $1500-$3000, depending on condition and colors.)

    However, I'm sure there's some nice guy who would do it all for a "thou" or two....like your local Earl Scheibe, or someone who paints in his back yard........Then there is that "crackhead" with a couple cases of Krylon.

    It's "apples and oranges", as they say. You'll just have to look at some local cars, and ask who does what kind of job, for how many $$$.
