Should ask this on the "Body and Interior" forum, but-

Those places charge a flat rate for any car, doesn't matter what kind of car it is.

And if you ask them to do repairs, the price skyrockets.

Best way to find out is to pick up the phone and call them. They won't bite.

Atleast $400-$600 range.
Phone around to find less or more or what it is in your area.

spend $400 on a paint job and you are asking for trouble.

i went to a local shop, and he was charging $5,000. each piece is removed and individually re-done. 1,000 just for my hood and front fender. pricey, this painting is.
