When you say all the body prep is done do you mean that you have roughed up the gel coat with 80 grit paper followed with about three coats of catalyzed primer. Then about three or four coats of primer surfacer that has been hand blocked with a guide coat until all the imperfections are gone and re-primed. And now you have it in a sealer coat ready to be painted?

If so then I would think a fair price for a three stage paint job on a Cobra would be between $3000-$5000.

P.S.-I don't think the paint shop you went to really wants to paint your car. Keep shopping! Check with Roscoe (here a CC) and find out who painted his car. From the pictures I have seen they did a pretty good job.
