Need help, Car getting a new paint job

Well i want to repaint my car because white is getting a little old and i want something new like dark metalic blue (Dont know the exact name). The problem is i want the whole car repainted that includes engine bay, door jams, inside hatch area, etc... so basically i want the whole car look like it came out of the factory with that color. But is it possible to do that i mean i know its gonna cost a lot money for that but i just want my car to look good. So if i took it to a GM dealership or a very good body shop could it be done? Please let me know or give me any input would be great thanks. Oh BTW how much do you think a job like that would cost?

It can easily be done. But if you want to save yourself some cash....get yourself a car trailer and remove the doors, bumpers, hatch, and all that stuff before you bring the car in. That will take away some of the labor that would be needed. A job like you're speaking of would cost anywhere from $4-6,000 depending on the shop and paint used.

anything can be done for the right price

but like black_z28 said if you remove all that stuff yourself it would be cheaper and speaking from experience the dealership is not always the best way to go just do some research about the body shop first....

Name of paint

Oh forgot to ask. Does anyone know what the real name of this paint is called and maybe even the paint code. Thanks
