How much to paint a 1987?

I just got a Grey 1987 Chevrolet Blazer. All stock. Original metal. Straight metal. Original paint. Interior perfect. 55K Original miles. New factory replacement engine. I'm wondering this: I think the car is really nice and the interior is in perfect shape but I feel the grey color is a bit bland. I'd like to repaint it a nice modern color with a bit of metallic flake in it. I know I might take some heat for this but I kind of like the green color of Ford's Ginger Ale Metallic.

My question is this: How much would it cost to paint a Blazer like this with some nice new paint that will last. Keep in mind, this is currently a fully assembled vehicle. The grey paint extend throughout the engine compartment and interior surfaces. I'm in Everett Washington and just need a ball park or any specific resources you might be able to point me to that might have experience with painting these trucks. I guess I also might wonder what a repaint in the same color might cost and any resources for that as well.

Chances are, it is just too expensive and I will take some 3M polish and go patina. I also might put some cooler tires on it that are bigger and make the whole truck look a bit shorter. Any links to very similar, similar color Blazers would be appreciated.

Thanks!
