3m detailing tape, some concourse paint jobs can reach upto 20k these days, but just a good respray that would include full windows out, strip down and bare metal preparation, epoxy coat x2 block flatting twice, then the first 4 coats of paint again wet flatted, more paint and minimum 5 coats of lacquer, then block flat, 5 stage machine polish, refit all glass and trim, without any major rust repairs would easily exceed 5k, this is what it would take to build a show winning car paint job, if you have seen Retropowers Gorgon Murray Escort build, I would guess that it will be about 150k when finished, this doeas include all the mechanical work as well though, but with most good shops now charging upwards of £50 per hour labor, its not hard to see why the builds are so costly.
Since it looks like you are the only one watching these vids, here is Episode 10
