    Broad question with a lot of variables.

    How immaculate is the end product going to be?

    Is the body work going to be a quick application of god knows how much of the cheapest body filler available? Or is someone adept in the art of sheet metal work going to spend hours and hours making sure as little filler as possible is needed? Are body panels going to need replaced or patched?

    Looking for a "10 Foot" paint job, or one that not a single flaw could be found by a trained eye from up close?

    I used to work at a restoration shop, and some of the bills for body work and paint were.... Well, it's a good thing the customers could be quite liberal with their discretionary spending.
