How much is it roughly to have a paint job on your FTO. Im planning to buy a FTO and i want to change it from RED to YELLOW just the normal colour no customed. Also is it cheaper to buy the YELLOW FTO instead of giving it a paint job?

$3000-5000 if you want it done properly. Keep in mind this is exterior only and -NOT- the engine bay.
By properly I mean removing the previous paint completely and then repainting with fresh coats of paint. Also, you want to make sure they paint it properly as in under the rubber bits (forgot what they're called) around your windows etc.
I suggest you look for a yellow FTO as the cheaper alternative.

5k plus for bare metal respray (not including engine bay)
4k for a normal respray, including door jams, and light body work ... If there is rust and a fair few dents, then add about another $500 ... This would not include engine bay either...
