3K including the "best" materials? thats not bad. for a complete paint job about $1K is what youll spend in materials alone for good stuff.
if you are looking for a cheaper job in a 2 stage paint, youll spend $1500 minimum depending how bad the truck is, and what kind of shop you plan on going too. id be shocked if theyll paint the doorjambs for that price though so keep the truck the same color.

if hes got a gun and a capable compressor, it wouldnt be that hard to do.
roll of overspray sheeting - $20
quart of black basecoat (good) - $70
reducer for paint - $15 quart
Quart of good clearcoat with activator - $100
Misc - tape sandpaper, pre cleaners, tack rags, thinner for cleanup - $75

If it was me I would paint the whole truck because most shops will not be able to match it even with factory paint. When I had my black 88 ranger I had the bed painted at the dealer I was working for at the time and you could see the difference in the sun. Black is a hard color to match because if it is just a shade off you will be able to tell in the sun.

That seems about the ballpark for it. And the shop I went to have it done at was top qaulity so it wasnt just a cheap spray job.
