Welcome to the wrap club! I too had a grey car and just wanted to change it up some.
Did mine in Avery gloss burned orange a few months ago. I paid around $3700 (but that included paiting the mirrors and rear tail gloss black and the door jams). The work was done in VA.
My car is parked outside year round so not really sure if I will get the full 5 years out of it. But I also had it opti coated so that should help a bit.
I've only had it for a few months and I have alredy noticed some rock chip marks in the vinyl up front. I too have some bubbling in some deep concour areas around my rear spoiler. Need to make time to bring back to installer so he can redo those pieces.
I also need to get my rims and tail pipes blacked out. Just need to find some time for it.

I'm with Mike and Tom - a paint job you'd actually want on your Porsche is not $3k. An Earl Scheib paint job is $3k; if you live near the border, you could PROBABLY get a decent paint job for $3K in TJ or one of the other border towns.
$3k will buy you a fender respray with blends into the adjoining panels - but not a properly masked, prepped, full-body color + clear paint job. No way.

The bright colors are fantastic, I just don't know if I'm a fan of the matte finish. Changing the wheel color would probably help in my opinion. Nice way to change the look for a considerably lower cost than painting and you can take it back off.
