One of the top places in NJ is Quality Autobody in Rahway, NJ. I actually need my hood repainted, I think they wanted about $1000. So you can imagine how expensive it would be do the whole car. This shop is the go to shop for Ray Catena, the largest luxury car dealership in NJ. When I stoped by they had an Aston Martin DB9 and a Lambo Murcielago(powder blue) in the shop.
I think painting a Porsche a different color may kill its value.

p.s.
I had my side skirts painted by a small shop (Prince autobody in Elizabeth) that is friendly with a mechanic friend of mine. They charged me $700 to paint just the side skirts. Expensive but they did an excellent job with matching the silver. I'm going to have this same small shop respray the front bumper ($500). But with metal I'm not cutting corners, that's something hopefully you'll only need to repaint once. On previous cars, I've had to repaint front and rear bumpers multiple times because people smashed into me in a parking lot or while I was at a red light...really annoying.
