I got it done really reasonable. My girl just had her car painted there as well a few weeks now, and it came out really great as well.
This is the Macco in Portsmouth. They usually have the supreme level paint job on sale for $300. If you need the old paint stripped off your car, they usually do the paint job for a total of $500 with a 4 year warranty.

Check them out.
