I have offered this advice before and I still feel it is the most cost effective and fun route to go. If you have a community or junior college in your area, and they have a body shop class, sign up for it. It is cheap and you can get your 944 painted within a semester. You buy the paint, they provide the paint booth and spray gun. I painted an old Ford Ranchero in the class and it came out perfect. But, if you decide to paint it in your garage/driveway, I have also done that route. I rented a compressor and bought a gun. Came out okay, I used lacquer, so I was able to remove all of the bugs afterwards!

Professionals charge an average of between $2,000 and $5,000 for a paint job these days.

Good luck!
