I recently ( like feb ) had the front 3/4 of mine painted for $400. No body work at all was needed.

Doesn't matter what the price, DON'T go to maaco. Your paint will last a little over a year and their warranty isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

I had mine done with a few little minor bits of body work done. Took it to a local custom paint shop and paid 2k for the job. He did a very nice job, and added the ghost flames that I wanted on it. Over all I'd highly recommend you find a local guy with the skills and talk to him first. Even if he's not the guy he could point you in the right direction for sure.
