Depends what color, how much prep has to be done, how much after-paint work is done...depends on many things. I work at a collision center. We've run anywhere from as low as 200$ or so to paint a door to as much as 3 or 3.5K to do a whole truck that was done with a pearl-maroon, buffed twice, jambed, and everything.

If you're interested in having stuff done, let me know and bring it to the shop. If we start getting people up there, my manager will fold on price and give us the best pricing you'll find around...
