I just prices out my GF protege to be painted at a Ford collision center, I know they over charge but I know the guy in charge (Carlos). Anywho, its a black 4 door very simple repaint it black $3500-$3800 in the door jams and enginebay too. Now smae thing with the door jams and engine bay but a White with a Barbie Pink Pearl $3800-$4200. Couple hundread bucks more to make it look like a show car.
So back on topic how bad is the rust is it full on bubble or is it just fall-out on the surface? (White cars you'll see fall-out on then all over after shipping on the trains. gotta love it.) If it is just Fall-out, get some Diamond Cut compound, Swirl Free Polish from Meguiar's and a decent Random Orbital and follow instructions. I do it as a side business it's simple.
