You can get any color you want... If you're repainting the whole car, make sure you have the paint color code for the shop.
Repaints come in all shapes, sizes and costs. But, you get what you pay for. The largest expense is the labor to get the surface flat and smooth to take a new coat of paint. Then there's the other prep work like masking things off, removing trim, etc.
Expect $600 or more for just the paint...
Best thing to do is get some estimates locally. Look at ads in the papers, call local car clubs, dealers, etc.
Do what you can afford. There are $350 paint jobs, and there are $35,000 paint jobs...
But before you do that... invest in some detailing. Either DIY, or find a local car wash that has a detailing shop on the side. This won't help rust and scrapes, but might mitigate a lot of that "acid rain". Also, the cleaner it is when you bring it in for the estimate...
