Paint job costs - 2 door , shortbox

[89GMCJOHN]

I was just curious what are you guys paying for decent paint jobs with minimal bodywork on a 2 door shortbox ?

I've only ever done 50-foot race car paint jobs. $10 for a can of Rustoleum, $10 for a can of thinner, $5 for a foam paint roller, $3 for a roll of masking tape, and recycled newspaper. If you want to feel fancy, use two parts Rustoleum to one part thinner and spray it through a $15 Harbor Freight gun. The car below was sprayed.
