I painted mine with House of Kolor paint.
Specifically, Orion Silver heavy metallic basecoat and Cobalt Kandy Blue midcoat, followed by a gallon of HOK Klear Coat
27lbs of paint!!!

I dont know what your price range is, but the materials alone cost me $750, I painted the car myself. I'm sure if you had a body shop paint a car in that color it would run around $5k
