Depends on your area.
Around here a good paint job costs at least $5k and some consider this cheap. |

Those more knowledgeable than I will chime in, but I'm guessing $3-5K for a quality job to include door jams, under hood/trunk lid, etc. Yes, metal flake, pearl, etc. will increase the cost now as well as for any repairs later.
Some one will ask this...why do you want to paint your Camaro sky blue (like the Mustang color?)? Are you keeping it plain or putting stripes or other graphics on it? Good luck with the paint work...find a reputable shop. They'll give you a solid quote, usually over the phone if no body work is involved. |

If you want a good at least as good as factory paint job, it'll be between at least $5k on up and to $10k depending on who you take it to.

7,000 to 20,000
Depending on which paint you choose you could spend 5k just on supplies Most of the money is in labor and MAKE SURE you research the company you choose. |

That color is to smurf blue for my taste but it will be much more $$ than what you want to spend.
