What did you all pay for paint job in the 90’s?

Just asking because I have receipts from 1997 for a bunch of work on my truck. The shop did close to $10000 in work including a/c rehab and $840 for r&r motor another $850 for a Holley 850. The paint job cost $3500 to straighten repaint and buff body plus 860 to remove front sheet metal and paint firewall under hood inner fenders etc. the paint looks great but it was never put back on the road so I wonder if $3500 was a middle of the road type paint job in 1997 in Hesperia, CA. Shop rate was $45 per hour
