You will have to strip the car to a shell to do it any justice if you want to change the colour. Think about every rubber strip, every part of the door handles, every piece of trim (even the bits that break when you remove them) You're talking about at least $10,000. Probably more like $15k to do it properly. Then you have to try to refit all the brake pipes, the engine, the intercooler etc. without scratching any of it...............
Roof needs to be resprayed due to a rust bubble near the roof vent then the whole rear doors need painting as its going to have custom skins, then the rear panels need painting because of the widebody and door sill modifications not to mention the multiple front bars, so the car is basically all in need of paint anyway so why not do the other small areas.

Car is also already stripped and in the paint shop.
