I assume your on about cost?
Depends "all the prep" to me would mean strip down, d/a-ing, filling, high build primer, blocking back, stopper and seam sealing. But if you can do all this you'll have the eqiupment and skills to apply a topcoat.
What kind of finish do you want? Just shiney or show winning standard?
What kind of paint? Most places wouldn't use a paint that you brought to them, so you would have to pay them for the materials.

Your best bet is go round some local body shops, have a look at their standard of work and get some quotes.
