My advice is learn to paint. I went thru this on the last car I had painted. Every bodyshop was just interested in fixing dents for insurence. I wound up paying $1800 to get a 71 firebird painted and they didn't do that great of a job. This was in 86 and that was a lot of money. I vowed I would never pay someone to paint my stuff again. I read every book on painting I could find. I got an old car and starting painting. Buyiny a good compressor,all the tools I needed for a basic paintjob,and the paint still came in cheaper than that paintjob cost. So I quess all the paintjobs since then were basicly free.
