How much $ for Custom Paint...

For the people with custom paint jobs on their civic, how much money did you pay for it? Of course only if you are comfortable stating the price...I know it varies depending on what color, if they get the engine bay, etc., but I just need general figures. Thanks!

Chameleon paint jobs arent good for everyday drivers. If you need to repaint any part you have to spray the whole car again because it wont match. My friend has a mystic Cobra (purplish chameleon paint) and if he gets into an accident even if its just the bumper he said hed have to repaint the whole car so it would match.
