i've heard from other ppl on here that paintjobs differ so greatly from shop to shop, i'd go to a few shops around where u live and get an estimate that way. also idk if i'd go w/the lowest priced one, make sure they're using quality products too.

well, considering your car has a clear coat on it and your paint shouldn't really fade, I would get it detailed first. I mean the works....clay bar, cutting agents, polish and wax. if doing is out of your skill level call around to local detailing shops. also ask lots of questions here, there a lot of guys who frequent this site that are masters at this topic. plus it will be $1000's less than a new paint job, especially if you want a decent paint job.

Like bcassette said, try getting it detailed and that should help you out a bit. And are you looking to get the entire car repainted or just a section of the car that looks faded?
