black is an easy color to fuck up..i predict orange peel for low costs.

Seriously, dont cheap out. You say under a grand but don't want horror stories. I mean its a lot of work to paint a car, they gotta make a living. If you pay a grand or under, they arent going to put sweat and tears into your paintjob.

I painted my car myself. Body work took me 2 months. Materials cost about 900. You gotta pay to play.

understandable, but at the same time, i dont want a paint job that costs more than my car

Earl Sheib put down a few coats of black on my car for $450. They did pretty good too. The only problem with black is it shows all the defects in the body, scratches, small dents, dings.
