That is going to be a tough task. With all the opinions and preferences and likes and dislikes name brands, off shore, etc etc, you could never come up with a list everyone would agree on.
You might compile a list of everyone that submits info and list each one separate so others know what some use to do the job.
I have seen cars painted with rattle can that won first place in AACA shows. Perfect paint job but lots of sanding and buffing. That was all he had so that is what he used.
If you have a down flow paint booth with heat drying system you will get different results than a guy in his plastic booth with a 20" box fan.
The first cars were painted with a brush multiple coats, dried for weeks, sanded and rubbed out with pumice. Model T Fords were painted with what looked like garden spray heads over a pit and the excess black paint dripped into the pit and was used again. That was the reason for only one color black.
Now the factories use the spin spray heads that spin the paint on at like 45,000 rpm. No shop does that.
There will be lots of opinions and all will give you a paint job and probably work there is no one best way to prep and paint any car. A lot depends on what you have and how much money you have to invest.
You can do a great job with not the best equipment and you can do a sorry job with the best of everything. The equipment and materials will fail in the wrong hands every time.
Would be interesting to see all the list you come up with.
I have been checking with some local restoration shops not body shops and they both said about $3,000- $3,500 can be expected in a full ground up nut and bolt restoration. Blasting, derust, primer, sealer, seam sealer, high build, body filler, color and clear, interior color, engine and drive train, sand paper, buffing pads, buffing liquids. That is to do one car just materials.
