You want to get all removable peices taken off - mirrors, door handles, bumpers, lights, plastic trim and effects, etc. The key is to paint inside each of the seams these pieces create so that the paint doesnt peal outward from those seams.

Hulk is right - you'll never get that money back when you sell the car.
You're right. If you redid the same colour probably close to $5K, if you change colours you need to have the engine bay, door jambs, inside of the trunk etc all done, and you are for sure looking at significantly more.
