Good Question. Price varies. Different color will be more money. I figure $1800-3000 for nothing too crazy.
If Mitsu doesn't warranty my paint job on my '05, i may find out how much a paint job cost sooner more than later.

ok, SERIOUSLY ... friend of mine just done his repaint for his RSX at local LA here. the paint was A grade, only outside no engine bay. And whole thing cost him $780.
And if you dont need A grade paints ... whole thing only cost you 299 + tax or without tax if you know them. Thank you Amigos and Chinese!
BTW he paid $780 coz he wants to match factory quality + 3 years no fade warranty.
so in your case, Id probably shop around for the best price in your area. coz $3k for repaint is too rich for my blood ....

I have a RR '03 and the pink factory paint sucks...not to mention the 20 or so stone chips in the front. Ill probably get it resprayed next summer...then I'm getting that clear bra about 2 minutes after the paint has fully cured.
BUT!! If you want to chage the color, then add about $800 for engine bay, doorjams, etc.

dude dont do it. DONT DO IT. aftermarket paint will never be like stock, as much as stock mitsu paint sucks ***.... unless you are willing to drop big money like 6k or more for a real QUALITY one. Even then, im not so sure.
One tip, if you plan on going NOT FULL OUT 6K paint job, you should consider painting it a really light color. Colors that are kinda reflective is NOT good for aftermarket paint because the reflection easily shows uneven sprays (oversprays or bumpy). Bad quality paint shows the worst on Black. Red is pretty bad too. White = no problem.
