Not including the labor to strip those unpainted parts off of the car, you're probably looking at about $4k or so for a good paint job with a basic oem color. If you want anything fancy (for example the oem quicksilver), you'd probably be looking at more than $5k...
If possible, do what I did - make the right shop connection, labor for hours on end ... pay for the cost of paint and get some practical learning experience by doing the bondo, primer, first 3 coats, etc on your own. According to the owner I saved over $3grand.
