That looks like 'FATHOM' blue used in 1970. People often make the mistake of saying 'PHANTOM' blue.

My car shall be spolied. :D Even if the paint was discontinued by Dupont of PPG a good paint shop can generally mix tints to get the correct color combination for that color. However Dupont is still making the GM automotive colors, sometimes its just a matter of the paint shop getting it and knowing which paint to order, matching the factory paint code to Dupont or PPG paint number.
I could not give you an approximate number as far as pricing because different shops charge different labor, are different quality, and the cost depends on the color a lot. For example a red is a lot more expensive than a blue because there are many more tints that have to be mixed in order to reach the correct color, thats why a red paint job can run a larger price than most colors. hope this helps.
