There are a few variants...
If you're going red, it'll be more than $5K for the simple reason that red paint costs 2 to 3 times more than any other color.
A pint of Dupont Chromabase in red is about $70 but $30 in black.
To do a whole car with jambs, trunk area and under hood, you'll need a gallon of base coat.
Now, for the engine bay, there is no way to do a good job without yanking the engine out and all the cr@p that's bolted on the aprons etc...
Talk about labor cost here...
If you start with a black car, you can get away with leaving it black under the hood.
Any other color will look too funky if it remains untouched.

Not to hijack, buttttttt
Pick up this months HotRod and see the vehicle
they wrapped in 3M vinyl for a spectacular,
totally reversable result that lasts 5 years or more.
Unwrap and your original paint is there in all its glory
just as it was when it was wrapped.
Not to take away your bread and butter or anything like that, Pascal. he he he
