I havent done a repaint but I did some looking a few years back, it seems like a full repaint was in the 8k-10k range. If your goal is to repaint to OEM because of the rock chips why are you painting the whole car, now days a good paint shop should be able to match standard paints to a level where it's very difficult to see the difference. I would consider looking at vinyl wraps if your intent on doing a whole car, it's about 1/2 the cost of paint for a quality job.
