That depends, are you going to paint it yourself? Have Macco do it? Have an ok shop do it? Or have an expensive shop do it?

DIY- 400.00
Macco - 400.00 +
OK shop - 1000-2000k +
Expensive shop - 4000k +

I have a paint brush you can borrow. Using that method you can match the Maaco quality!

One should worry about the imminent mechanicaly related spendings for this aged car.

But once you asked:
40 h of labor (if you are lucky + the cost of materials (~1,7k) + the depreciation for repainted car.
