It all depends on what your budget is and what quality of paint that you want and what shape the body is in. You are going to want to seal or prime the car with a lighter color or you are going to play hell trying to cover up the black with the silver.

There are plenty of great brands of paint out there, I personally shoot mainly Dupont's Durachrome which is their top of the line, but you pay for it. Dupont also has a lower level paint called Nasson which I have shot with great results as well. Both Dupont and PPG have a great product. If your budget is on the lower end then Duplicolor has some very inexpensive basecoat not needing reducer I have shot for people as well and clear that does not require hardner. It's no where near the quality of Dupont or PPG but if your budget is tight it's an option and looks nice properly laid down.

It all really depends on what your budget is and the quality you are willing to pay for.

I was quoted 1000 to have my front bumper and the ground effects on there painted.

That is prep and paint.
