I live in MA too. From a professional shop its just as Feenix wrote for
pricing. My suggestion is to do as I did, I did all the body filler, dent
pulling, body work, priming, wetsanding on my own. VERY painstaking but it
saves you big time. I got quoted at 1300 for everything or 750 if i did all
of the work from the pros. I ended up going to maaco (yep shoot me if you
want) and i just take extra care of her on the side. I only paid a grand for
my car in the first place and the paint isnt that bad if you take care of
it, and hardware store wages really wont suffice for a $1300  paint job.
Anyways If you do as i did you pay $400 for OK paint with a warranty and you
still have a professional wetsanding/prime on the side,  just make sure you
wax 4 times a year, just make sure you talk it out heavily with the guys at
the shop (no matter where you go) first.
