Expect to pay $3500 ~ $4500 for a proper paint job on a Boxster. This will include removal of the headlights, taillamps, rubber gaskets, and whatever body panel parts can be removed and sprayed individually and put back on the car. Takes a number of weeks too while they remove it all, spray it, sand it, spray it, sand it, spray it, sand it, and put it back on the car.
Maaco does inexpensive paint jobs because they tape off everything and don't remove a thing if they don't have to do it. If you take off the rubber windshield gasket, you'll see your old paint. They also don't keep sanding and painting until the metal looks like glass. Expect a lot of "orange peel" when the light hits your paint.... a sign of poor painting techniques and shoddy workmanship.
BTW, don't change colors on the paint unless you want to spend at least $4500.00 on the paint job. They'll be forced to disassemble the whole car to do it right.
