I don't know of any subie dealer that paints, and I wouldn't even want to see the rediculous price they'd come up with for it.
If you want a good paintjob follow the following steps.
1) Get a list of every body shop in the area.
2) Go to each one and talk to their sales rep, or if you can, the actual paint specialist.
3) ask for a list of recent clients and call them to inspect work or just get feedback on how the work was done.
4) figure out which REPUTABLE place will get it done for a price you'd like.. 5) Make sure there is some sort of warranty, and make sure that it is done completely right from the get go. Don't even take your car back until its perfect to your satisfaction.
Expect this to cost 2500 or so for a same or similar color, and 3500-4000 for a complete color change. and ALWAYS use good paint. don't take the cheap option on paint because why would not you spend 300$ more, when you're already spending 2500$ on labor???
