I will be painting mine this month and I have my quote from the guy who is painting mine.
Total will be 6-8K
Materials are $2500 - $3000 included in this quote.
This is about what I expected. I talked to the Lancair guys at Oshkosh this year and I could not believe how many of them spent $15k - $20K. OUCH! But that included lots and lots of prep work.

prep work for plastic airplanes can really add up when you are being charged $60+ per hour for sanding and filling. Also a lot depends on what the traffic will bear. When shopping for a place to paint my Glastar I visited one shop in AZ that was charging large amounts for paint work but after a short conversation it was apparent that most of their "clients" were airline pilots to whom price was no object. Also if you have ever dealt with the builder assist area you know that your hour is worth much more than the hour of the employee. I once work alongside a builder assist employee and accomplished 2-3 times as much in a day as the employee. Of course his work was perfect while mine was only almost perfect. But his work cost me $240 a day.

prep many.. And the prep is key. My C-170b was rebuilt 8 years ago. The paint
already has corrosion spots erupting in many places. The metal prep was
poor. Now what is the cost?? It needs corrosion removal, and touch up painting.
To save cost... Do all the prep your self....and then paint it.
Practice on old cars...

RV10-List: RE: Cost to paint RV10
Another concern for painting is a location that will allow painting. I
painted a few airplanes in the very recent past and stealth-ing your
way into spraying, prepping, priming, disassembling, drying parts, rag
and solvent disposal (very big problem....), compressors, sprayers,
lighting, heaters, electricity, neighbors (airport and home)...all the
items that are required to paint a airplane come into play. All of
these concerns can be overcome, I imagine it was the challenge of the
issue that motivated me.
Painted a RV-4 with Glasserit (Mercedes/BMW paint) considered to be one
of the top paints ONLY because the mixing distributor was near where I
work. The RV 6 I assisted in paint was painted with Sikkens (Audi, VW)
because the buddy I was painting with could get his chemicals also on
his way home from work. A little practice on anything metal was all
that was required. I have the best looking, wheel borrow & trash cans
in the neighborhood, well, until the trash man dinged them up. I must
have prepped them correctly, there is no paint loss in spite of the
dinging fro the trash man

OK, I have to question the judgement of anyone who would pay $10,000 to
paint an
aircraft worth $20,000-$30,000. To me, stripping should always be
included
in an already painted aircraft paint job, so specifying "strip & paint"
seems
to imply that they are providing something "extra." I don't doubt that
you can
easily spend $10,000 painting a 152. I'm assuming metallic paint,
elaborate
striping , etc. I had a friend paint his previously polished 170 in
metallic
silver with red strip and it came to $17,000. The 170 at least is a
classic.
