Default Auto Paint? Any Recommendations?

I have a 97 Mustang GT, the paint just began to flake off in spots and is getting worse as I type.

Does anyone know of any good paint places they would recommend?
And about how much a nice same color paint job would cost?
Or
How much a nice custom paint job will cost me?

Any help given is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. That's what I was thinking, but I was hoping for less.

you can probably take down and re shoot the exterior for between 1500 - 3000 depending on where you go.

Demand to know the type of paint (dupont, PPG etc etc) if it doesn't sound like one of those then keep movin'

Custom paint jobs without pulling the engine and shooting the engine bay, door jambs, trunk etc etc (a factory paint job) look cheap. "factory" paint jobs are mad expensive yo! Figure at least 4-6K and much more if you use custom coloring like House of color or do any tricks to it (bowling ball, krinkles, graphics, candies, chameleon etc)
