Cost estimate to repaint an Accord?

I'm considering getting my old Accord (granite green) repainted. It is
showing its age with dings, scrapes and scratches on the doors and bumpers
to name a few. Would it be worthwhile to get it repainted in the original
color and how much should I expect to fork over?

anything under $1000 is likely to be a crappy job. unless..

i had decent success with a $400 maaco job on an '81 rabbit, but i
stripped all the trim. handles, lights and bumpers off, and did all the
prep myself. including pre-masking non-removable parts. they basically
had to cover the windows, and just shoot the primer and color coats.

Thanks. I figured about as much. I was considering some body shops that
work on Hondas a lot.
