Anywhere from 2K to 5K depending on how nice you want it to look and on how bad it is now.

+1, all depends on what you want and remember you get what you pay for.

you can always go with a macco paint job for around $250 but it takes about 4 days of wet sanding and buffing to get it looking decent

There are so many factors that determine price, the big ones are how bad of shape it is in now as previously said, another one as previously said was how good of one you want? More expensive doesn't mean better, but it does mean you can complain if it ain't A basic color from an desecent shop with little body work would prolly run around $3500 around here.

Id paint it for you at my shop if you were a little closer, i usually charge 2.5k for a good prep and paint. that includes taking all the minor dents out, preping the car for paint,and a base-clear application for a glassy shine.
