I used a painter that was recommended by several of my Hot Rod friends. The prep took f o r e v e r and the paint was done over a couple of days but the end result was/is spectacular.

Just don't do what "Stupid Gordon" did; Don't tell them you're not in any particular hurry because you've got a lot of other stuff going on. I did that and it sat in the shop for over a year before they got to it. shake

I was shocked at over $300/gallon paint cost, and I'm sure it's even more now for the good stuff, but it's lasted for 21 years and still looks great so it was worth it.
