I got a great paint job for $3,000, after I sent it back as the wings were a=
 different shade than the tub.  Of course it took over two years and he neve=
r re-fit any of the parts after doing the repair and paint work.  Live and l=
earn.=20

But the paint looked good!

Before you pull the gearbox - if your only symptom is 'won't go into gear' -=

As for paint -- $3,000 for a decent paint job would be cheap where I live.
