No such thing as good cheap paint work. Good materials aren't cheap to begin with and good labor isn't either. If your bumpers are in good shape and don't need any repairs you can expect to pay $250-$300 a piece probably.

As for a total repaint it depends on the overall shape of the body, condition of the current paint, if door jambs and trunk lip will be done, etc. To get a nice paint job expect to pay anywhere from $6-$9k for a car that has no rust issues. That's using good materials and assuming a great driver quality/show quality finish on a newer car with minimal bodywork necessary.

Just to give you a comparison, an older musclecar with rust repair, major bodywork, etc can run upwards of $15-$20k for a show quality paint job....sometimes more.
