cost of respraying a car

what is the approx. cost of respraying a car, taking a nissan micra as an example?

It all depends on what you're having done.
Things you have to take into account -

1: Condition of car - Does the bodywork need attention first?
2: The colour you are going to? Some colours can act as base colours to new ones and can save money.
3: Are you having a special colour? The Standox Rainbow paint used on some of the limited editions Primeras and micras that nissan did a while back was over �300 a litre.

I had a Saxo done with a white pearlescent flip using the existing white of the year old car as a base. The paint was in good condition to start with and it cost me �1300.
I've known some to be as cheap as �600 but with anything, you get what you pay for.
Shop around and see if you can see examples of work already carried out.
