Most bodyshops are going to hit you for around $75ish depending on location and quality of the shop.
Tip for ya, if you have anything else you want painted the same color you can normally get them to throw it in too really cheap since the paint is already mixed and being sprayed. Normally it is just whatever additional prep they have... something to think about for your lowers, chainguard, top clamp or other small parts you might want to match.

Here are a couple of tips about bodyshops that might help you out.
Most of them can or will figure out how to do anything you are willing to pay for.
Stay away from the big name shops you always hear advertised on the radio. They do mostly insurance work and they are pricey. You get what you pay for but that is no reason to pay too much for it.
Ask around for a good name and try to stick to smaller local owned shops. If it is not an insurance claim and you are paying cash they are much more willing to work with you.
Don't call them, visit them in person to get the estimate in the middle of the day. Bodyshops are usually slammed first thing in the morning and last thing at night. You want to be able to talk to them, ask a couple of questions and let them know your looking for a deal.
When you drop your part off do it at the end of the day. A 12 of Bud Light with it is almost always a good thing! It may not get you a big discount but it will most likely get you more than you barganed for in the way of making sure your stuff is done RIGHT. It will also go a long way toward the next time you need something done.

Tip send it to me with about $40 bucks and the paint code and I can get it painted for you. If you have seen my bike then you know how it will turn out. You know it is good paint job when you can see the tree shadows in the paint in my pics when I was moving.
