Why don't you do it your self using Dupli- Colors Paint shop. Everything I watch on TV and seen on the net says that it is fairly easy and could be done for probably $250. This is how I am going to paint my Miata and have done some research into the system.
Cheap HPLV Gun-$65
Paint shop primer- $19
Paint shop Color- $38 (one can of white and one can of black)
Paint shop Clear- $19
Masking an paint suplies-$45
That is really all you need and you can do it in your garage. The system is a two stage lacquer that dries very quickly (no baking) and has no recoat window. Lacquer is not as durable as modern enamel paints but will work very well in your application. I am not sure how the colors will match but you might be able to do that at a paint shop.
