Default new paint job

Can someone give me an estimate for how much a new paint job would cost? Sanding, primeing and painting etc. I've heard things as low as $300 and some as high as $2,500.

Basically my Prelude has been used for a daily driver for quite some time (just over 80k) and has little scratched here and there, front end has it's fair share of dings and chips. I used Turtle Wax Color Cure with a touch up stick... it helped a bit... but there's still lots that's visible.

Ok, it's black and things stand out like a motherf... but scratches and scuff marks here and there bother me. I'd really like this car to last me a long time cause I love it. I've had some suggestions to just drop $200 and have it highly detailed by a professional. Opinions???
