I know that the question was related to paid service rather than a DIY job, but I just thought it could make an interesting comparison for you. These are the costs for materials/equipment I paid for my paint job. I did all rust repairs, panel beating and painting so paid nothing for labour....and let me tell you to have a job done properly there is a lot of hours involved, so paying $3000 for a paint job is not bad if it is done right. The costs are all in Australian dollars, and not in any particular order.
Materials:
Etch primer 1L $29
1L wash primer $54
1L 1K primer $54.10
Metal plastic x-fine filler $19.80
2K tech putty 4kg $45.65
2K clear 1L $32.00
2K reducer 1L $13.20
Fast hardener 1L $36.00
2K normal hardener 1L $30.00
2K clear 1L $32.00
Gunwash 20L $35.00
500ml base coat $55.00
Acrylic thinner $12.80
Car joint seam sealer $26.40
Polyester putty 900g $14.00
Blade putty 450g $12.50
Base coat 1L $100.00
2K high build primer $116.00
Farecla G3 compound 400g $23.20

Equipment etc:

Gravity feed gun (for primer) $150.00
Paint filters $3.00
Tack rags $9.00
Masking tape $50.00
Mask (filter) $95.00
Gloves (2 boxes of 100) $26.40
Sandpaper $40.00
Lge rubbing block $17.85
$2770.75 all inclusive (or $2040.50 minus equipment etc)
Labour $0 (thats the part I like)
Please note that not all the above paint, clearcoat, primer etc was not used solely on the body...I used some on things like clearcoating rollcage, painting suspension components etc etc....so that is why there are double and triple ups of stuff.
Cheers
