Yes Rok, it comes prepainted. Price? I picked up mine from a seller on eBay for $179 US. Most other vendors want about $100 more for some reason. Despite the great price, the kit was brand new and in prefect condition. And they had several available at that price. So it pays to shop around.
Again, this is one of most pleasent kits I've ever had pleasure to build. No painting. And the painted details are very well done. Easy to assemble. And great instructions. I was little hesitant to buy any model for $179, much less $279 or more. But, it was worth every penny I spent on it. I no buyer's regret on this one.
