Very nice color...I'm a fan of blue. Your looking at a price range of $1000-$2000.....well for me atleast.

This is my paint job in the future (i use this pic too much)

The paint isn't the expensive part. A couple hundreds bucks for some really expensive stuff. The bulk of the cost comes down to labor. How good to you want the prep work done, how well skilled do you want the painter to be, and how many panels do you want painted (engine bays, etc cost extra)?

So you could get a couple quarts of that paint and go to earl shiebb and have it all done for under a grand, or your could get a concours quality finish with all the panels removed and acid dipped for $10's of thousands. The question should more appropriately be "how much do you want to spend for that paint?"

Edit:: Or you could skip that entirely and simply drop $70k on the porsche <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
