Every place is going to be different, best bet would be to just stop at a few places and get estimates.

Probably looking at 2 to 3k if you need no body work.

I saw a jk the other day that was flat black. It had a vinyl wrap over the original paint. Looked like it was painted but only cost around $400. Just a thought.

$400?? Wow...that's an awesome price! I was quoted $2150 to wrap my '09 Subaru LGT.

Prices will vary dramatically depending on a few factors.

First is how much you want painted. Do you just want the exterior done or are you doing the insides of the doors, etc?
Second is the labor associated with how much you want painted. everything not being painted has to be removed or masked off.
Third, the quality of the paint job. Granted the orange peel look won't be as much of an issue with a flat finish but a single shot of primer and color will just result in you needing to get it done again in a year. A quality job with multiple coats and wet sanding in between with a matte clear will look amazing and last for years but it will cost you.

I know I just finished another post about price vs quality but it terms of paint and body work you do tend to get what you pay for unless you've got a friend in the industry to give you a deal and give you good work.
