I would have to say with this economy the OP should be able to find a quality job in the 5-6k region from a middle tier custom painter. Sounds like what he wants is a pretty basic job with stripes not a Billy B paintjob. An outfit with an idle paint gun and a less than full shop will be quite accommodating. There is no reason a 5k paint joint should look like crap, at most its a 60-80 hour job, there is a lot of guys that will prep, wetsand, and spray for $50/hr in this economy. When guys were paying 10k for 3 pieces of Harley tin not too long ago, I just shook my head. Hopefully reality will set back in. A big factor in what the OP wants is the cost of the paint
12-15k paint jobs are of course out there and way up, anything is possible depending how much you want to pay, but they are nothing I'd want to be running around in putting a lot of miles city driving with.
