depends on condition of car what you want doing eg strip down full spray inside to out or just a blow over also the colour can add to the price
place i go does blow overs for 400 but your best asking local places and see some of there work

Roughly, for a full re-spray of the outside same colour, i was quoted in the region of £1300-1500
But if it's just say panel and bumpers, they usually carge roughly £50-70 per panel etc like that.
Hope this helps

from experience a good/recomended place should say around 1200 up to anything really...depend's how much you want painted IE sill's, bay etc
im painting my car soon, i will be paying about £ 600 for material's alone...thats to do everything bar the underside and interior

Mine was quoted at £2k. I didn't pay that because I did a lot of the stripping etc myself, and it wasn't a priority job (Took 10 weeks). Still paid over £1200 for it though...

most realistic post, for a good job anyway.
i'll do it if you supply the paint and give me a few crates of magners

No, they all cost the same. The things that make the difference are costs of materials, types of paint and aditives requiring more time to apply and stuff like the ammount of prep time required because of repairs e.t.c...
Also, there is no such thing as a 'blowover'. Please don't anybody say that again!

people dont realise the time a "full repaint" take's
day 1 stripping all removable parts, window's, bumper's, moulding's, trims etc
day 2 preping parts for primer, removing dent's, rust re-repair etc maybe get the small part's in primer...
day 3 cleaning the car and blowing it, should be ready to prime the shell at this point. Primer added
day 3 flatting primer on the car, if done by hand it will take all day, some confident people use a DA "sander in respect"
day 4 cleaning up the dust, tack the whole car, re-prime some area's if needed...Apply paint and bake
day 5 re-fitting all the parts, if time alloys start the flatting and polishing process
day 6 finish polishing, maybe a few small job's to do
if you think your worker's will work for £100 a day
material's at least £500 for dupoint or of high quality
over head's etc £300
minimum of at leat 1300 really
or let some cowboy do it for £1000 or less and im sure it will crap
but best way is to no someone in the trade and ask for private job, you help with fitting and prep, might bring the cost down a bit

/\ as above my mate owns his own spray shop.
I couldnt believe the amount of work involved. I helped with all the prep work (funking hard work)
4 days work for a full exterior spray £400 for £1200 worth of work.

Whats a full dip?
I believe in getting a proper respray, anyone who has seen my car will know how good the work is. I paid with some welding and smoothing done, £2500. I was more than happy with the job. You pay for what you get at the end of the day.
