A lot depends on the size of the aircraft and what the paint condition is - you can normally rub it down if the existing paint is not too strong coloured, or there are no edge marks from decals etc. But at three levels of paint, it's a strip job, and that can raise all sorts of problems; taking the paint off can reveal all sorts of horrors. I would allow about $25k for a rub down/paint on an A320/737, or $75-100k for a strip (assuming the metal is ok!)
