I just got my '69 Sonett out of the paint shop a few weeks ago. I sanded 90% of it down to the "bondo layer" myself, then brought it to various reputable shops. The guy I used was the only one that sounded like he was going to fix the cracks right, and the prep work to do this cost me ~$1600. I was hoping to get the whole car painted for this amount, but he pointed out all the fiberglass cracks and said it was going to be 40 hours of labor, just to fix the fiberglass... In the end, he fixed 99% of the cracks and the car looks really good (I'll post some photos soon). Only time will tell if the fiberglass repairs will really hold up....
The total cost for the paint job came in at around ~$3000.
Hope this helps...
