And, I don't know about you but I wouldn't say that spending between 3500 to 5500 is cheap or inexpensive.

$3500 isn't cheap, but it is relative to the actual cost of a good, quality paint job. If you could get a brand new 2010 camaro ss for $15K it'd be considered cheap. $15K is a lot of money, but it's really cheap compared to what a 2010 should cost.

$5500 you're probably okay, but anything less than $5K be careful! It also depends - if you can find someone who does great quality work but owns their own business, maybe just does it for fun, not necessarily for the money, you might be able to find something good for $5K.

Other options are to just paint part of the car - two-toned, or get a custom stripe, airbrush etc. done.

Good luck with the car and make sure to post pics once you get it painted!
