I painted this car myself:

If you do all the prep work (BIG labor cost), that will save you a lot of money. Find someone that will just squirt it for ya.

Otherwise, for a cheap paintjob. In Detroit during February (winter slow time), MAACO has a special going. THey give a $400 paint job for $200. I had a VW-GTI painted that way. Sure it had a cheapie paintjob, but looked good from 15 feet away. Get close and you can see the orange peel... But heck, for $200, it was a steal!
