What kind of money are you looking to spend? I know that for what you have decribed you are going to be real hard pressed to find someone other than a weekend guy to do it. As you said paint jobs 10K are more than your looking for. Just so you understand a little about painting a car. If you want good paint products your going to be in the $2000.00 to $3000.00 just for the supplies. That is unless the guy that is doing it out of his home shop doesn't get all his paint from his day job!! I know you are saying no way are the matials that expensive. Just add up EVERYTHING that you need to buy to do the job, sandpaper, tape, masking paper, primer (one gal for every blocking of the car) paint, and clear coat. It get real costly very fast. Not tring to pick on you all I'm saying is that $10K for a paint job with no panel repalcement and not alot of body work is VERY RESONABLE in todays world.
