A decent complete paint job (that looks good and will last) will cost at least a couple thousand dollars. Stay off the cheap-painting chains (Maaco, Earl Scheib, etc.) if you want any kind of quality UNLESS you are capable of doing all the prep work yourself. Just the materials for a good job will be $500+. There are 3 kinds of shops out there (with some overlap) - cheap places, places that really only want insurance work, and places that do restoration/custom work - you want to find one in your area from the last category and get an estimate from them. Don't be surprised if it's $$$$$$.
Most of the work is in the preparation (hours & hours & hours), and that's what you DON'T get at Maaco. They can spray paint pretty well but the prep suffers.
