Taking the body down to bare metal is the "correct" way to prep a vehicle if you a purist or a world-class restorer of classic vehicles.
A driver car doesn't need that kind of work. It is time-consuming and expensive, especially if you've farmed this out to someone else.
From what I've read, the typical cost for a decent (Mercedes-quality) paint job is around $5K. You can get cheaper, if you do some of the prep work yourself, but ordinarily, a cheap paint job will yield poor results...
