Default Repaint Question

Okay I'm looking to get my car repainted at the end of the summer. There is quite a few problems and I'm looking to get them all taken care of. The paint right below the gas filler neck has worn away and I can see a spot of grey primer, Various scratches/key marks, clear coat is wearing away in 4 different spots on the hood, spider cracks on both bumpers. I guess you can kinda expect most of this having almost 160k miles but I'm looking to get the paint back in great shape. I wanna do same color as before and I'm looking to get rid of all the bling that comes on the car stock (ram air decals, door molding, bird molding on bumper) and go for a clean look. I'm willing to remove any of that myself to cut disassembly costs and I know that will also help w/ my total bcs on both quotes I got a couple years ago the stupid ram air decals were $110. So you guys that have gotten paint jobs done how much can I expect to pay? is $2500 reasonable?

the only body work that I know of that would need to be done is I have a tiny dent on my fuel door and I think there is a tiny chip on my hood near the window

you can get it for less, unless they offer life time warranty and paying a bit more then is a good deal

lol i know i can get decals for like 10 bucks vs 100 but really I was going to get rid of them anyways even if it was free. I think w/ no decals and no moldings it will give it a really clean look.
