Great hood. What is that style called?
I like the white.
In my experience paint is typically a "get what you pay for" service. I've taken both routes on either end of the price spectrum and the only constant is the result is never good enough. I'm in a completely different part of the country and the market may be different from your area, but anywhere from $3k-$5k including jams. If you're going to paint the inner fenders and firewall to match the new color I would expect well north of that range because a lot more disassembly is required to do the job correctly.
You also might save a ton of money by skipping the firewall, disassembling the grille, door handles, lights, and trim yourself and leaving it at the paint shop for just prep, masking, and color. Then pick it up and reassemble it yourself at home or your shop.
I'm fairly certain if you drop it off completely assembled at the lowest bidder and ask for a color change you won't be happy with the result.
Nice ride. What color are you interested in?

Probably just white would like black but yeah we know how that is to get nice and keep nice.
The hood I hate my father put it on there .
I was think OD green too semi gloss

I recently paid just under $3K for some door dings repair, sealer, primer, 2 base coats, and 4 clear coats (2 part). No jamming or engine compartment (the truck was already blue), no cut and buff, that would have been $800 more. I then bought all the trim, tail lights, Silverado emblems, rear bumper covers, front bumper, grille, bump strips, valance. etc for another $1K, and installed it all myself.

Dang that's is beautiful what kinda body shop did it. Like small outfit or guy starting out on his own or a large place that does tons of insurance work
Believe it or not, MAACO did it. Keep in mind they're individually owned so YMMV. We don't have very many ma and pop shops around here and large collision places don't do full paint jobs, just replace fenders after shooting them. I'm sure a custom shop will be happy to do it... for $10K
I went the same route as @PlayingWithTBI, but didn’t buy bumpers. I used a guy who worked at a gmc body shop for years and then decided to break out on his own. I paid around $3700. I also got a new hood & tailgate.
