Default $299 at Maaco.

:-) I would suspect a few thousand easily....for a job done perfectly. Good luck!

Default That depends so much on part of the country and the type of shop you go to.

Many collision repair shops don't want to fool with it. Not enough money in it. For the best quality you'll need to find custom shops or high-end repair shops. Around here you can get a repaint from 500-1000 that is so-so quality.3000-4000 will get you one that is as perfect as humanly possible.

I found a high end repair shop that really has nice cars there lambo's etc, and I didnt get an estimate from them yet, I was figuring out around 3g's though.. I do have some more work like smoothing everything out that I want the bodyshop to do, so proabably going to be even more now, sheesh..

Is that just for painting or did you do any custom work or anything like that?
