A paint job is $100 maybe if you are equipped to do it yourself. I've priced it a couple of times at body shops and they generally want more like $3-500 for anything other than a quick respray. Local labor rates my vary. Even original facias often have several layers of paint on them and need to be stripped and leveled for a quality job. Masking the gray/black is difficult to do correctly (depending on how picky you are!). Main point is - if you are not painting it yourself be sure to get a real painting quote first.
