if they stand behind their work, that is a smoking deal.  anything under 5k
for paint job on these vans is a good deal.  You have to figure that actual
painting is the smallest part of this job.  Having done it myself on several
vehicles, and any expert would agree, it is all in the prep!  so labor get
spendy real quick especially on vanagons because there is a lot of metal and
curves etc...  let alone materials involved will run $1000-1500 easily
good luck
