If you want a better than new paintjob, it'll cost you $3000-$6000.
If you want a new car finish, probably around $1500-$3000.
The cost is pure hand labor. Sanding, priming, sanding, priming, sanding, wet sanding, paint, paint, paint, clear cloat, wet sand, clear coat, wet sand.
The more layers you get, the more it costs. My car has 3 layers of paint, and 3 layers of clear, and boy does it look good!
If you want a crappy ass job, then take it to Maaco for $200.
Usually they do not do any of the prep work and just paint right over the old stuff. Then it starts to crack off and peel, because the paint cannot stick to paint. Then you find some nice things like overspray on your wheels and windows because they don't know how to tape!
