I had a Boxster that got the exterior repainted at $6800, including the prep work, that was done about 4 years ago in the Los Angeles area. It had a terribly faded exterior green color when I bought it. The trim pieces and body panels (clamshell, front and rear hoods, bumpers, doors) off the car when they were prepped and painted. It came out well and for a race car, I was really pleased with it. It's had its fair share of rock chips since then but it's held up really well. Below are a few photos.

Doing a quick search, I think these are also things worth reading. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/time-is-money
