I removed all the trim, bumpers, chrome, mirrors, lights, wipers, antenna, etc. on my wifes Jetta before I had it painted. The bodyshop did a great job, total cost $1300.00 This included aligning new front fender and rad support, fixing a big dent and all the little parking lot dings. If the car is pretty straight already then I would expect about $1000 for a quality job. Removing the trim, etc. is the time consuming part. Most shops prefer to just prep and shoot without the hassle of disassembly/reassembly. Expect to spend $1000 and it will look new. RT
