Itll come down to color, and whether or not you are changing the color of your truck versus respraying it the same color it already is. Red paints tend to be the most expensive, while black is cheaper for material costs. If you are changing the color of the truck, and are doing it right and having the door jambs and under the hood painted, it'll cost alot more.

So people need much more info to venture a guess at this. A few years ago I had the front clip of my grand am painted red to match the rest of the car and it cost me over a grand even though I did the body work myself.

Edit. a Maaco paint job will be cheap as all get out, but you pay for what you get. I've seen their spray jobs last anywhere from 6 months to 5 years before the paint flakes off.

Anywhere from $400-$10,000. Seriously, it depends on what level of finish you want, how much repaint you need (just the outside or engine bay, inside door edges, etc). A workable yeoman job will go $500-$2,000 probably.

I was thinking about getting my truck repainted black again, its full of scratches, I'd pay no more than $700 if its more than that I'd let it go..

I would love to have my Blazer professionally repainted but in my town it would run better than $5k. Just to have the front rockers redone was quoted at more than $1500. Someday I hope to, need new doors though apparently. Damn rust.
