I had every interior piece painted, there were around 85 pieces! Me and a couple of buddies spent around 150 man hours DA ing the pieces to get all the texture completely off. Then you have to seal all the pieces. After that you paint/ clear/ wet sand. If a body shop did all that work I would imagine it would cost around 2 grand! But, if you're willing to remove all the interior yourself, sand all the texture off yourself, then let the body shop paint the pieces, you'd save a ton of money. Getting all the texture off isn't necessarilly difficult, just very boring and time consuming!
Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions.
