Should I get my car painted?

I have a 2004 Ford Focus zx3 hatchback (pic is not my car… but it looks like it) and being in florida the paint is starting to fade a tiny bit. I was wondering if I should get my car repainted. I was thinking about painting it a different color (I was partial to blue). Is that something I should shy away from? I’ve never had a car repainted before and am not sure what to expect.
