$5K would be a decent paint job and depending on the quality of the work, it could easily go into 5 figures. But a color change should include the covered areas such as door jambs and the area under the rear hatch. That can add hundreds to a paint job.
Also, the painter may want to use a different color primer under the blue paint. Primer colors can make a big difference in how the base coat looks.

for a quality paint job...changing colors from Black to any other color, you are probably shy on estimate. If you were going to black that might do it. I would say prob closer to 8-10,000. Good luck, you could always do some prep yourself, save some $$

Me too! Blue is always my 1st choise (Marina, LeMans, Mulsanne, Jet Stream I love all of them) but I have to say the return of Z28 in flat white with the black wheels and trim really caught my attention.
