Well, I'm getting a Dawn Blue Focus but the colors in the range are alittle bland. So I figure I might change the colour myself at a later date. But I'd like to get an idea of how much it would cost so if its too much then I might just stick with my Dawn Blue. Or if its affordable I'll just get white for the time being.

We'll depends on a lot of things. At least 2000 for a pretty S*** job to 10000 for a great sprayjob. But remember try to choose a colour that is close to the spray colour ie if you were to do a silver pearl with purple tinge paint job, get a silver car. That way you can get away not painting the sills and engine bay.

10 grand? no way..
go to your local Big W and buy 10 cans of your favorite colour. also buy some harsh sandpaper. give your car a gentle rub to clean the surface, then give the car a really thick coat with the spray cans. let it dry for a while.. best way to test if its dry is touch the paint in a very obvious spot with your biggest finger, if it leaves a huge finger print then the paint isnt quite dry yet, leave for a while longer. other than that, buy some clear paint and give it a nice thick coat. all done  custom paint on your brand new car!
