Had mine painted about 6 years ago. Price was $3500 with some body work. You will have a hard time finding someone to do it for 3000 to 4000 with a color change. Mikes Auto Body in Windham Ohio did my 77.
If you need more info PM me.

chucks- what color is that?
i may have to hold off until next year then to paint. I would hate to settle for less of a paint job. I could get by with painting the faded rear bumper this year.
I have new leather seats, door panels, hush mat, and carpet to install.
