I think OEM paint jobs are pretty high quality, normally. For an OEM quality job, I'd guesstimate that you'd spend a few thousand dollars to do the whole car. When my old Ford Taurus needed the hood repainted, I took it to one of the dealer guys and it costed nearly $900 for just the hood.
Prep is key, as is sanding with high-grit to smooth out the finish. Like it's already been said, the cost is completely dependent upon the quality of the finished product and the area you're at (labor costs per hour). I'd go check out a few shops and look at the cars they're working on and how they look. If they work on new and expensive BMWs or Benzs, they're probably better than a yard full of Kias and Hyundais (a generality yes). Just food for thought.
Good luck.
