Not really sure what you have in mind (candy, etc etc) but there is a guy on here wth a custom painted 97 ES, his handle is MRLEXUS.
you should probably figure about 3-5k for a good custom job

you will usually cost between 2200 and 3300 for a paint but me and my father ( he's own a paint shop) i got it done for only 1200 . i went with a very high dollar paint which was about 200 a can but it was worth it.
so if your going to to the job sir get some good paint and a very good clear coat ok

That **** is definitely hot (MRLEXUS)
That's candy paint right? Where can I see other examples of some dope paint jobs on es3's?
Also, what's a good site to order aftermarket accessories for the es3>

No sites in particular just for ES300 accessories. They aren't that many anyway. All you can do is rims/drop... paint... Since you have a 1995, there some DIY mods such as the clear corners, blacked out headlights, clear amber strip out of taillights, HID's maybe? etc....

Anyway, next time I see it I'll snap a pic.

Yeah Technics, you know what I'm talkin about 
The red ES has a nice sound system though, I'll give it that. The funny thing is, I was driving with 2 other friends in my car when we saw the ES, and one of my friends said that's a "nice looking ES", but I told myself in my mind that ES ain't right LOL!

There is a dude I see driving around every now and then by me (Rhode Island) who's got an ES with the blood red paint job with chrome rims and black tint. It's pretty dope.
