Silver is a two stage so the color and the clear, sand paper, sealer, prep solvent, tack rags, tape, paper, and a few other supplies: should be in the $700.00-$800 range. Black only would run a significant amount less because first there is less paint needed and second the black is always cheaper! Probably in the 300-400 range with all the prep elements.

Like JeffN said, you can just clear too, especially over the black, black seems to clear real good because the color doesn't fade too much in the first place so there is a good base to clear over.

Thats provoded there isn't any body work to be done.

A decent shop should charge about 1500-2000 to do the job I would think? Especially if there is no body work to be done. Even a car preped properly, considering there isn't a wait to get the car in, shouldn't take a shop more that two days maybe three if they were to color sand and buff as well as a full detail after it is painted. And just the black should take half the time. and even less time to just clear the car.
