I recently had my 87 GL painted inside and out for $5,000 total and that included all the body work, including fixing a nasty dent in the sliding door.  They actually got up all the glue that was on the floor,  I delivered it to them with the interior removed.  I had steel bumpers and the black side mirrors and I wanted to put fiberglass bumpers and power mirrors on.  They repaired and painted the fiberglass bumper and the carat type exterior mirrors.  They also installed all new rubber that I supplied.  I originally had to pay for the glass removal and install but at the end they decided to pick up the cost.  The windows I supplied were freshly tinted and they accidentally scratched one of the windows.  They were going to have the window re-tinted but instead to avoid that hassle they offered to pay for the Towing.  I had the engine removed and they paid to have it towed from my friend's house to the shop [45 miles] and back to his house after it was finished.  I should say this was the first vanagon they ever did and i did have to take it back to them twice to repaint something small or fix something but that was no big deal.    B Feddish is correct.  I now have a freshly painted vanagon that is worth less than what it cost to paint.  However, I love my 87 and really don't plan on selling it.
