Default Cost of a paint job?

I was wondering how much a good paint job would cost. I am thinking about doing this sometime in the future and was just wondering what the cost might be. I would be keeping the same color so I wouldn't need ALL the paint stripped. I just need the exterior and my bodykit painted. I am thinking that it might be more expensive b/c of the bodykit, no? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Actually, this is just a one-coat paint. They can do the triple-coat paint just like the factory paint, but much much more expensive.

But usually, I could find a quality paint job for around $5000-6000.

it depends on if you want to change the color and do it right or if your just repainting the car the same color.....i would say 3000 for a stock paint color and 10grand for a color change dont RIGHT.

I was quoted 7 - 8K from a place in VA. They said they would remove the engine and get the engine bay and just do a real nice job.

I was quoted 500 EUR to repair a keyscratch that covers the entire side of the car. The dude did work on a Lotus Elise with similar silver colour and the work was immaculate.

Last year I got into an accident and needed new front and rear bumpers. 300 EUR for that paint job.
