I kept my stock hood, and did not need painting
My first cam install price was $650.00 for cam install, and springs, push rods, etc
Second time, all I need was a cam swap and that ran $200.00
Stall and cooler install, was around $225.00

the bird in his sig is on his hood

never had it done, but was quoted $1100 to have hood painted, new front bumper and painted, repaint RR 1/4 panel, fix RF fender

had a shop quote me 1200 for the total cam install, this is custom cam, springs, rods, retainers, seals, installed, dyno-tuned (and it was a sponser)

cooler i put in myself, bought a used fuddle and had it installed by seller for 475+stock converter

I had an OEM WS6 hood painted a couple months ago for $417.00. It came out great. Make sure you get someone reputable though. Good price does not always mean good work obviously.

you can get a hood painted a single color for $400-$500 (like viper1 said).

i bought all the parts for a h/c/i and a stall/tranny cooler and had it all installed for $1120 but this was from a local guy. he does real good work for fair prices, then i had it tuned for $400
