$2000 for someone to do it on the side....most shops near here wouldnt touch a complete paint job for under $5000rd said:I had Maaco in Savannah GA paint a CJ7 about 8 years ago. I discussed it with them when I got the estimate, paid a bit more, and got an excellent job, for $500 or so. The paint still looked great 5 years later when we sold the Jeep.
The key is discuss what you want first. In that price range, you have to make some decisions and sacrifices.
I just got my 82 painted, for $900, locally this time, single stage, with me removing the trim and stuff, with cleaning and sanding, but NO bodywork. I think it came out perfect. But it is a race toy, not a show car.
Nearly any quality paint job these days, will be in the $2000 range, if there is any body work needed.
