How much to cherry out?

I have owned my Supra for over 2 years now. I have sank everything into the engine and drivetrain and she runs great. Now I would like to make her look as good as she runs, you know cherry her out. There is no major body damage, just the few usual dings and scrapes. So, how much would you think it'll cost to have her lookin fine (after all, she is my baby).

If you do the prep work yourself, a good paint job could be had for $600-$800, depending on the shop. If the shop does the prep work, count on $1,500-$2000 for an good paint job. Stay away from the cheap paint jobs. The paint quality is less, and the prep work is negligible. They look good for a little bit, but will show flaws before a year is out. The cheap jobs are only good for polishing a turd to make a quick sale.
