Im about to do my paint job at my college soon. Free use of the booth and what not, you just pay for paint and DIY. Or find a place that would let you use there booth and do it yourself. Save alot of money.

If you arn't looking for a full color change i can paint it for 500 depending on how much body work there is to be done you can also check out some of my other work to make sure it is what you want

No real help here but I'm getting my complete color change done for about $650 or so. Stripped down, all the rubber pulled off, wheels stripped down and repainted too.
Just ship your car over here to the eisland and I'll hook you up. You gotta pay for shipping back too though.

Yeah, after shipping you'd probably come out ahead on that deal. Military sent me my car so it was FREEE! And since I'm here and saw some of the guy's work I can't go wrong with the $650 job.
