I've never met a decent bodyshop that will paint over your prep work. Personally turned away almost a dozen people with that idea when I was managing a shop.
If this is your first experience with body work, then you must expect it to turn out looking really bad. Sorry, but that's the fact for 99% of the folks who decide to try. That being said, don't hesitate if that is what you want to do, just temper your expectations.
A good body shop doing a complete repaint (original color, not a color change) which involves removing moldings and glass would (in this area) likely run 3K. That is with little or no dent work and NO RUST work.
Maaco will shoot paint all over your car for a few hundred.
