Repainting the car instantly devalues it significantly, so much so that you really ought to consider getting a factory color that you can tolerate. Regardless of how good the paint shop is, nothing beats a factory paint job where inconsistencies, orange peel and overspray are non-existant. Factory finishes tend to last longer too. Not to mention the fact that without completely tearing the car apart, you're never going to get the entire car one consistent color. A good repaint, equaling the factory paint can easily cost $10K or more.

Um... have you looked at a factory paint job lately?
"Inconsistencies, Orange Peel, and Overspray" are the name of the game in factory paint thesedays thanks to environmental regulations and the desire for a quicker-drying paint. Even $100,000 cars have all the above, especially orange peel. And today's water-based paints used in mass production just don't have the lifespan that paints used to have, and that outside shops are still allowed to use, and use in many more coats than the factory will resulting in a much longer-lasting, much more durable paint job.
The only way you're going to get a real quality paint job today is if you get it done yourself. That's not to say that it doesn't devalue the car, because it does. But not because it's a worse paint job (although if you take it to some place like Maaco it will be) but because it appears that you're trying to cover up previous damage. Any
decent paint shop can easily surpass the quality of a factory paint job.
And you won't pay anywhere near $10,000 for a factory-like repaint. Factory paint jobs are
not that good. You'll pay about $3000 for a factory-like job. A
quality job will cost you closer to $5000.
