Depends on the car and how the body is. What kind of body mods you want, and the type of paint and the color you plan on having sprayed. Alot of variables here. Dont be so vague. I could tell you $500 and be in the ballpark, or I could Say $6000 and still be in the ballpark. Theres a huge variance.

its about double the cost in materials since youre doing base,candy,clear. and a few more hours of labor. so if you know what a normal paintjob costs. add $500+ easily.

but you didnt ask that. therefore you are fail for not knowing how to ask a question. you should have asked something along the lines of "who here has the most expensive paint job?" or "who here has the most expensive candy paint job?" not "how much did your candy paint cost?"

How does that have any effect on what it costs to paint a whole car?
