Default Cost to repaint side mirror?

Looked at a used car today, the side mirror has a lousy touch up and would need repaint, how much?

Depends on a few things, if you take the door apart and remove the mirror yourself, probably $100ish-you could probably double or triple that if a shop does the whole thing. You might find a used one at a show/online the right color already for less.

They can mask it off and it shouldn't be very much at all!

The only problem with that is color match the paint exactly to the rest of the car.
