Default Paint job

On average what is a good price for a good paint job (includes knocking out some dings)? Nothing extravagant, just keep the original color. I am looking to paint soon and I need some opinions.

do the prep work yourself, and if you want to go crazy- then take out the windows, etc, and tow the car there already for paint, exceopt for degreaser, etc...that should save a lot and you can spend as much time as possible making it PERFECT!!

prep work is filling any dents (bondo).
sanding...
removing any weather stripping or anything else you dont want painted...
... everything you do right before you actually paint.
