Default Custom Repaint on Truck

Can someone who is familiar with custom paint and pricing tell me how much it will cost to change colors on my wife's truck? I know it is a complete repaint (i.e. eng compartment, cargo area, door frames, etc..). I also know it will cost a considerable amount.

Right now it is a custom fade-up design.




She wants to get it painted this color with black accents:



Thanks for your help.

i would be scared of anything cheaper than 4grand. has nothing to do with "coats" more to do with prep and quality of materials. there isnt any point in using 4 coats of bc compared to 2. sometimes the show jobs get 2-3 coats of clear and then sanded for another session of clear.

that brown truck looks like it fell out of the JC whitney tree and hit every branch on the way down....
