go to macco and tell them you want the cheapest thing possible. tell them you will remove all tail-lights/ect...tell them all you want them to do is sand it, clean it, and paint it. should be no more than $300 and it wont be all that bad....be decent street quality.
just tell them, you have no money, and you want it done cheap. also ask them if they have any mis-matched colors, and you would be interested in using them. (its paint they would just throw away anyways) and white, is always off, you can spit in white paint and change the color of it. This is what my brother did when he had his race car painted and I think spend like $325. just go down there and talk to them.
