it all depends...
you can get a maaco paint job for 200.
my buddy does body work and paint, his typical paint job is usually around 2500, using dupont paint.

Honestly i wish i had LBP however, if i was to repaint my car i would definately not choose a stock color. Maybe choose monte carlo blue or do a nsx blue. Or consider how much moneyy your going to spend on repainting and consider the costs of going FI or other mods you would like.
Remember you get what you pay for! cheap paint job = may equal future problems

Why don't you just drive down to a couple local autobody shops and ask them? You'll get a heck of a lot more accurate answer that way...

Honestly, it's probably cheaper and better to sell your current car and just buy a car in the color you want. I love my LBP

Don't butcher the silverstone. Sell it and buy the color you want. Respraying an 07 is dumb.

i'm not one of those guys that care if you 'butcher' your beloved S... but if you have any sense you wouldn't respray an 07. you're looking at big money (well above $5000) to get a PROPER respray done. you are much better off to sell yours and buy a blue one.

^^ This.

Resprayed cars often sell for less.

You'll take a hit now and a hit later.

+1, sell yours and buy the color you want. It will take time, sure, but you'll save a ton of money and have a higher quality paint job.

Turn it into a Silverstone CR...Trust me it looks good with the wing,lip and Cr wheels...I hated(still do kinda) my color too,but then I saw that color and now I'm keeping it...I would just sell it and get a different color...
