Default Paint Q'

I accidently scraped a large chunk of paint off my front end last week, and was wondering if anybody had an accurate estimation $ wise to what it will cost to repaint the whole front end? Not looking for a fantastic job, something that will just be very similar to the rest of the car

I do not know the cost but my paint job took mny hours of labor and countless hours of prep so I am sure it will not be a small expense

There are a lot of career painters on this site below. They will prob need to know things like>>> base coat clear coat paint or single stage, Metallic or not. Check them out, here also is a pic of my first full restore and paint based on what they taught me.

It was originally red, but the peson before me painted it white...not the best paint job, for they just painted over the previous one...but it still looks decent, and thats all I'm asking for, at least for now...
