Default How much to paint a room yourself?

We were planning on painting the kitchen this year. I cannot stand the walls and I needed something that could come clean. What we have is essentially a primer that wipes off when you try to remove food spills.

So we decided on a color range (this took a LONG time), and found a few samples, then figured we should price stuff, and pick a type of paint. Before we got that far a friend offered to wallpaper it for free (free paper too) it was leftovers from their house project. (apparently real wallpaper comes in giant rolls, buy one to many and you have a whole 'nother medium room!)

Anyway, we would like to offer them the cost of painting since we planned to do that anyway, and can prolly afford it. But we didn't get to the point of pricing.

I don't need exact, just a range assuming we had to buy most of the materials, and all the paint.

Thanks
