How much money does automotive paint cost to repaint one car?

I have a 92 BMW 525 and the paint is starting to show its wear. I am looking to repaint the whole car and get a friends to do it in his shop. He is only charging me for paint and not labor. How much can i expect a regular grade automotive enough to cover a whole car? thanks

1. paint varies. quality paint such as ppg, dupont would run you from 500-2000 roughly for paint and clear. cheap stuff would run you from 100-600 depending on where you buy it from.
2. ordinary car paint is not to pricey but some special ones are a bmw would be a bit more they use better paint.but even then it should not not cost more than 100$
3. Depends on the company Dupont, PPG, Sherman Williams, Diamont, also depends on color and flakes( pear, micca, crushed glass soforth.) paint could cost any where from 30 to 50 dollars for single stage color, 20 to 30 dollars more for metalic additive normally micca per pint. To paint a whole exterior of a car general requires 2 to 3 quarts, about equal amount clear coat generally urathane about 110 to 160 depending on grade quality and other materials like hardner and reducer together about 100 dollars and extra 10 to 30 dollars for masking paper and tape. lot of physical labor required to paint a car right must be good friend.
