good paint job is anywhere from 2500 - 4000, done right.
A good paint job (especially for a complete color change) will easily be north of 8000 if done right.

For 4000 all you're going to get is a basic re-spray (with little to no prep work done to the previous paint) and you'll have mismatching colors in your engine bay, door jambs and trunk.

You wouldn't want to pay too little that's for sure. If a shop quoted me less than $7000 I probably wouldn't use them.

Too much. Not worth it, unless you are building a serious show car.

Imagine the performance mods 8k could get you?

And before, I'd heard not $10,000, more like $15,000, or as much as you want

A quality basic paint job and 3-5 layers of clearcoat will run you a minimum of $3K to $4K. Anything less than that won't be worth a crap.

For a color change about $8,000 for a decent job and from there it goes up over A 100k if you got it.

With trade in on your 1LT (depending on what you still owe) another 7 grand for new paint less for used. The up side is it will be a total color change and lowers the odometer reading. The down side is it's still factory color. But a total color change and a new car smell.
