Yeah, going for black is going to cost a mint. Everything has to be perfectly smooth otherwise it's just going to look crap as soon as the light hits it.
Normally you can get a 'same colour' respray done really cheap (by comparison) if you do the prep work yourself (rip off everything, rub it back....). Moving to black (or any really dark colour) on any car is just asking for trouble. Even the tiniest dints (you probably don't even know about them yet) will look shocking.

I shopped around and was quoted from $1500 to $6000. I've been thinking about what colour to go and went from black, to maybe that nice orange you see on later model commodores. I saw a VP painted the colour and It looked pretty nice.
