If you're talking a full colour change it isn't likely to be cheap if done properly - which means pretty much stripping everything off that could interfere with painting complete panels.
Quick, cheap, good. You can have any two, e.g quick & cheap but it won't be good.
Prices will vary considerably around the country.
How many local bodyshops have you tried?

What about wrap? Put the thicker style on to prevent scratches
Yes good idea
Just done my Discovery and it’s taken at least 6 weeks of stripping out and prepping work followed by masking up and painting with another couple of weeks to put it all back together,
Then once the paint has hardened sufficiently, I still have to flat it back and compound it followed by polish and wax,
Definitely a much bigger job than I had foreseen but being retired and Covid a good way to pass the time,
If I was you I would get a quote with you doing all the prep work because that is where the most time is spent,
If they only have to mask up and spray the paint you will save a substantial amount on your previous quotes,

The prep is THE most important and difficult part to get right so certainly here the paint shops wont entertain you doing it yourself if they have to guarantee their work...a landy is not an easy vehicle to prep either...I'm preping this for paint for a promotional vehicle for our shop bloody nightmare all the ridges and corrugations...lol
