i'm about to go do this myself but for 5000, i'll rather use that money for other goodies on the car. 2500-3000 sounds reasonable for a good paint job that is the same color.

Yeah, I'd rather get it wrapped the same color, so when you open the door/hood/trunk its still the same color. And that costs $ 1,500 or less that lasts at least 3-5 years with warranty and with the rest of that money, it would do into other things.

No. Only reason I wanted paint costs was for the same color. I wouldn't go another color.

you paid for the body work and not the paint job
with the s2000 there is no roof or glass to worry about tape lines with. its a fairly easy car to prep and paint compared to the rest of the cars out there
i would say $2000 for prep/paint would be a good price and should be great quality. add more if body work is needed

What area do you live in? I had mine done for under $2000, but that included the labor of repairing a dented rear quarter panel, installing and fitting new front and rear bumpers, installing a rear wing from a damaged trunk to a good trunk, OEM CR lip that was of a different color, headlights, and a rear tail light. I left my hard top Berlina.
