I'd agree primer, paint, and clear does sound high.
I sat and looked at my disassembled 46 PW for a year trying to decide who and how much it was going to cost to do the body and paint. I finely decided that with the great advice from people here and a couple fo good friends I could do it my self. It came out much better than I'd expected, and I've since painted a couple other projects and have been very happy with myself.
The key is Prep and knowing the limits of your materials.
As for Color, it's a very personal choice. Unless you are trying to do a factory restoration, go with what you like and enjoy the beauty.
