does anyone know how much it will run me to get a factory color paint job for an evo 8

 

I would say at least $2000-$4000.

 

Depends on what you mean... just the exterior (no jambs, under hood, engine bay,etc.etc) about $1000-2000....but a full paint job, dropping the motor, stripping down is going to be far more expensive.
What are you looking to paint? Also, depending on what condition your current paint is in, it might be able to be reconditioned with a person who knows what they are doing with a high speed rotary and some good cut and polish compounds which will save you a ton of money
