Jaguar S-Type - how much will a respray cost?

I want to respray my silver Jaguar S-Type. What would be a realistic price and what would you specify as essential to do a good job?

About £3000 - £4000 for a top class job with all trim removed prior and replaced and proper pre-preparation. Will be more if any corrosion is found. Not economically worth it in my view, but nothing to stop you spending your money that way if you want to.
