I think there are a few variables:
How do you want the bodywork done? New panels vs repairs? Hammer and dolly work? Rust repair?
Do you want it skimmed in bondo, leveled, etc?
What color? Black/dark probably extra.
What type of paint, how many coats, etc?
Not trying to be negative but "real nice" is subjective. 10k won't get you "real nice" as in show quality award winning. There's too much labor involved. Body guy has to bust his ass to get a perfect finish. But it can get you "real nice" as in it will be nicer than production car paint jobs and good for cruise nights.
