Default Cost to expect on small item?

Looking to get my Driver's side headlamp cover repainted to factory condition, Clearcoat is peeling and I tried to save it but its ate through pretty bad. As I don't have a decent paint gun, What kind of cost should I expect to see if I take them my headlight cover for paint?

Also most places around here won't insure there work unless they do the prep as well so thats most likely going to happen.

Guess I should also ask if it would just be cheaper buying another one instead.

instead of asking a whole bunch of people on a forum it would be a better bet to get an estimate from the body shop that you will have paint it. seems like common sense

Even if you buy a new one it will most likely have to painted anyway.

My brother had both his headlights repaired (there were huge dents, chips, cracking, and peeling) on his Dodge Stealth TT for $100 bucks each at Macco (top of the line paint that they offered). It looks good but the one headlight has a small crack in the paint after a year (garage kept too), it has a warranty so he's gonna take it back.. But, that's what he paid, so it should be around that ball park.

Thanks, all I was looking for. Just a ballpark price range.
