I recently went through a similar decision making process with a car that I just finished restoring. As Pa says, the labor costs make this quite a losing propostion. A good paint job that keeps the original color still requires all glass, trim, moldings, valences and bumbers to be removed. A color change requires a tremendous amount of disassembly over and above that. You'll have alot of dough wrapped up in the car that you'll never be able to recoup. If you do decide to go with a color change, don't settle for the lowest bidder. The higher line shops that know how to do this type of work don't take any shortcuts........and any shortcuts taken will be PAINFULLY visible to you when you pick up your car.
