I'd recommend a painter familiar with Porsches who may have previously painted a hardtop.

In the USA I was quoted right at $1K

Note that the big rubber gasket across the front and into both side windows of the hardtop lists for $800.

Tomorrow I will leave the hardtop to one that does all Porsche repairs on the behalf of the local Porsche dealership. I will leave it up to them to decide how to do it right and what painter to use. If necessary I will ask them to remove the rear window. I searched the forum earlier and saw that it was not recommended to remove the window. It could break.
