I'm sorry I can't answer from experience - I was lucky to find one that matched my car.

In my "Miata days" I had a Classic Red top painted Montego Blue for $165. I did not have them remove and replace the rear window.

I imagine that painting a Boxster top would be a similar proposition. A first class job probably requires window removal which introduces a risk that the rear window will be broken. (The shop will probably tell you that that they won't be responsible for breakage.) You will also probably need a new weather strip. Given the price for Porsche parts relative to Miata parts, I imagine the potential cost could rise above $600 fairly quickly.
