basically very minimal (or no) taping around parts. For reference, at least in Los Angeles, a paint job for a Porsche 911 cost between $8,000 and $12,000. At this price, it will have a mirror finish. It will have no 'orange peel' finish.
All cars that I have seen recently straight from the factory all have the orange peel finish. This includes Mercedes, porsches, BMW, etc.

Pretty much.
A low quality paint job will be around 2500, this may still be better than the factory paint though...i'm not sure because i don't have a nissan.
a good paint job will be around 4000-5000 depending on the shop.
an excellent paint job will be around 8000-10000 but this is usually for a complete color change say from dark-something to light-something.
Still, even if you spend 2500, i'm sure you could sell your black z, and buy a new(ish) one with what you got for yours + 2500 just to swap colors. this way you won't be out of a car for a few days either
