Debated if this is fodder for How to or music and figured I would start here...Any of you have any idea as to a ballpark cost of refinishing a guitar (including a color change?)

I have a great 93 US Strat+ that I love but hate the color of (it is a translucent blue finish now but I would like a solid color (either something like the Fender Lake Placid Blue or a Robert Cray Silver with a lacquer finish.)

Not even considering this as a DIY as I don't have the expertise or equipment.

Any ideas if this isounds like a $100, $250, $500 dollar job?

Thanks (btw, it had been a very long time since I played it but all the TFP guitar talk has gotten me playing again - so thanks for that too.)
