Default how much to repaint car

i have a DB Z and as i was backing out of the garage the other night, i scraped the side of my car across a metal flower pot that had been scooted a little towards the edge of the garage door, leaving a scratch about 6 ft. long all the way to the bare metal. the car has many other chips that were on it when i bought it so i decided to repaint the whole car. I took it to the best body shop around and they quoted me $2000. how much would you expect this job to cost? thanks for the help

Yup, $2000 for the whole car is very very cheap. I'd ask them in detail what steps they will do.
