Are you going to do it yourself? If not, there are shops that would do the paint quite well for about $600, maybe more, depending on the color.

You are probably correct about the amount, and I went high on my estimate. But, some colors are very expensive, as are some shops. If you get it for less from a reputable shop, and it's a good job, you have done well. A couple hundred $$ more on something that you will use for many years is not much, IMO.
