Re: paint $$
Take it to painters and see what they say.
Often they do not want the job unless they are taking it down to metal. Too many unknowns cause every layer could be done wrong and is waiting to fail.
I would also have you think about single stage paints. BC/CC can be too glossy for what the original paint would have actually looked like. Single stage, especally buffed, takes on something closer to the original sheen.
Prices, well I have been told that $7000 to $10,000 to get a paint job done right. Prep work is killer and the A has lots of little things that need attention before paint, if you want it to look half decent. I have seen a lot of poor paint jobs.
