how much is gonna cost for painting the whole car?

Not gonna be much, but it all comes down to a few things.

Pre-paint prep work. The better the job is done, the less cleanup, and the harder it will be to tell it's been painted.

Paint layers and work. How many layers of paint? Clear coat?

After paint. Cleanup, polishing, ect..

The painting is the easy part, it's the other parts that get expensive, and are the important parts in reality...

Go to a shop that does it, look at their work, they usually have a few cars that they just finished sitting int he lot, go check em out. Also, listen to the guys about letting it cure, and any tips from them, if they're good, they'll tell you what to do to make the paint last.
