Hi  Michael,depends  where  you  live  and  how  much  you  want  to  spend,also  what  C3  you  have. Early  ones  like 70-72  have  eggcrate  grills  so  you  have  to  be  careful  how  they  do  them  eg.  painting  only  the  edges  and  not  the  hole  grill!  and  also  how  much  prep  your  prepared  to  do  yourself  can  save a  whole  bundle.    ;);););)

I live in the mid north coast area, but I realise id have probably use someone in sydney to get the job done right by someone who has experience with painting a 1968 model
