For a quality job, expect to pay $2500 and up. As QWK said, it's also depending on body work.

You can find some people who will do a shoot job on your ride. Don't let that scare you. Basically if you do all the prep work, then they will just simply be shooting paint on it and clear coating it. You will do all the sanding, priming, filling ect. on the body. Taking it there and even doing all the masking and tapeing. You purchase the paint, hardener and clear on your own. If you know somewhere that will do it, it is a great way to save money. Only thing is, most shops will not gaurantee the paint job. But for the cheaper price it may be worth it to you. Good luck!

BTW, Paint is not cheap or I should say, quality paint is not cheap. The color you mentioned is thick in pigment which usually means it will cost more. Red is about the most expensive pigment around next to all darker pigments like black, navy, maroon ect.. Also, pigments that require metalics are generally more expensive. Remeber to make sure that the color you want, you know if it is a two stage or three stage color. Two stage is a base coat then a clear coat. Some ford colors require a base color with a second top color w/ metalic then clear coat. This is known as a stage three color.
