Default Paint

I have been thinking about getting my car painted, as the current paint is pretty scratched, chipped, etc.

I have no idea how much it costs, on average, to get a Bonneville painted (couldn't find any figures using the search feature). I was just wondering if you guys could give me some ballpark figures for a quality paint job. This may or may not crush my idea for a new paint job, haha.

If a entire paint job turns out to be too spendy, I'll just have to see about getting the problem areas fixed.

This same thing is on both sides of the hood.

Thanks guys for any info!
