Paint estimates?

I'm thinking about having the L repainted black. I'm just sick of all the chips, scratches and cracks in the paint. Especially in the ground effects and the hood.

I really have never done had any paint/body work done voluntarily a.k.a. without insurance.

What would a full paint job cost for a L, on average?

Thanks!

I would lean closer to 5k for real quality work, from my experience getting another truck (chevy) painted. You DO NOT want some half arsed work for 2k. just my .02
