you gone have it painted the same color or a difrent collor and
is there any rust even a little bit maybe something bubling over even if it,s on the rocker panel
or dings
if just a few dings and no rust what so ever and you get it painted same color about 400 to 700 depending on where you go and the actualy quality of the paint and what service you get if theres a few dings and maybe 1 or 2 spots that are rusting then your looking at about 900 or so

I'm doing all of the work myself on my 95' and have got over 1300 in paint/clear alone. This is one of those times when "You get what you pay for". Take it to a good shop that has references, and when you go examine the shop, ask for pictures of thier work. This is the only way your gonna assure your self that they are commited to quality.
I enjoy body work which is why I'm doing everything myself.
