If the room is in good shape, ie: doesn't need alot of holes patched or scratches filed ect., then you really just have to wash it down well and you should always prime the walls and ceiling first before you paint.
Priming covers most stains and small nail holes ect. and gives the new paint a base on which to grab hold to.
If your new and old colours are close to each other and the old paint is in good condition you might fair well with a good wash down, but for $18 - 20 for a gal of primer, it's worth it.
Good quality paint will cost you about $25-35.00 a gallon and one gal will do your small room easy!
If you are looking for someone to do your painting for you, be prepared to pay 200 bucks a day :( cuz they're not free!
It is easy to do yourself! Use a 3" brush to cut your corners first then a roller to do the open walls between the corners and it's a breeze! If you plan on doing the ceiling the same colour you may need a little more paint.
good luck!

A good painter, I am one, could do that room in less than 2 days. Typical rate would be around £100 to £120 per day. You pay for the paint and buy it yourself and you will not pay the painters mark up on what he buys.
Happy Christmas.
Message for BOXER the second one to answer. If this is so then you should have given a thumbs down as this deletes the answer. Mahadaki you should do the same every time you see it.

Will firstly depend on where you buy your paint and secondly the quality of the paint used! I would reccomend B&Q own brand as its cheaper than most and does a good job. Probs looking at around £15 for 7.5litres

well if you have some friends that can help throw a pant party or look for some sales at the end of the holidays but if you can't wait it will cost about 40 to 60 dollars to paint with good pant.
