well before the other come in here and tell you this "you get what you pay for" especially with paint. Save up the money an go with a complete high quality paint job, don't get that cheap ****, unless you don't want a nice looking coat. But anyways dont know where to go to get a good paint job.

It's going to be difficult for us to advise you being in different states and locations. Best you can do is call around, get some quotes and ask to see some of their work. Inspect it and see if it meets your standards. Ask to see more than one car because a different painter could have done it and that varies as well. Check enough to see whether you can determine if their results are consistent with each vehicle. Good luck...

im going to try the sponsorship route up here. i might have some luck. thanks for the advice. i will also keep that in mind. I am broke, and have done some looking around found a guy that does this stuff on the side and has done it his whole life, really good, but he wants 8 g's for a paint job, and i might make that in 8 months, excluding bills. we shall see.

paintjobs all vary from shop to shop, as well as their prices, so there is no real answer.

Not to be picky, but did you just say Midas does paint jobs...isn't that a muffler place? Anyway, if somebody wants to charge you 8K for a paint job, unless its gonna be bulletproof...and its not...then walk away.
