Maaco?  Earb Shieb?

good enough for a basic paintjob with a little offroading

just be sure the employees are good/nice (as it really makes a difference)

A color change won't be cheap, it is a lot of work.  I am doing a color change myself on my samurai as well as herculining the tub.  Much more work than I anticipated.  I'm not sure yet if I am going to spray can it or have it painted.

I had a car painted bright blue by Earl Scheib a few years ago.  It was white.  It cost about $500 to do the car and door jambs and t-top jambs.  It looked pretty good.  After a few years some of the paint would come off where it got hit with rocks and the white would show through.  So I would recommend Earl for a basic paint job, but keep it the original color.  Here is a pic of the paintjob.
