Help me find a good place to do paint work
Ok, some recent events seemed to pop up this weekend thanks to someone from on this board, and it looks like I will be getting my front end. Now it will have to be repainted and some damage on the bottom will have to be repaired, so where do you guys advise I go for price quotes? Just curious as I have never had paint work done here. I'm a college student so money is an issue, but I want quality work, so I dont wanna skimp out, I definately have to have a good paint job. It's just the front end and perhaps a few various panels painted, and the front end might even be off the car if that helps the painter (I dont have experience personally with painting cars, so I dont know). So lets hear what you guys advise. And no wagz I dont want a 5 grand paint job 
Although I'm sure with your experience you know of some great places in the area to have it done.

email me bro - i'm definitely not paying $5k - the guy who does my work does great work for the $ - he can do some very "budgetted" work.
If i told u what i'm paying for all the new work your jaw would drop - its nowhere close to 5k! lol

haha.. lowes have a sale on krylon or something? lol...
i think you should just primer it and leave it...
OR.. strip it to the bare metal, polish it and clearcoat it!
