I found  a guy here in Portland Oregon who just painted my van for $900.00.
He did a  base coat clear coat paint job, stripped it down to get rid of
the old flaking  paint and rock chips. He did 3 different colors- White top,
the factory yellow center and then black around the bottom. All for  $900.00
and took him 7 days to complete. Looks  great........

definatelty not the norm.   around here that's a 2500 paint  job
