enrico, to have a car sanded smooth, reprimed and painted 3800 is reasonable. if you go for any less, you wont be happy with the quality. yes painting a car is expensive but most of us have no choice and must pay other people. Even if you knew how to paint, which im learning, supplies would cost at least 1000(most likely a decent amount more) plus all your time to sand and prep, and maybe even rent a booth so its always gonna be a costly improvement. My monte just needed minor bodywork finished and primer/paint and through a friend, the shop wouldnt touch it for under 2500, i ended up having a neighbor spray it just for cost of supplies, but with the result i wish i paid the 2500.
