great.  
why is it so hard to see that i clearly asked if anyone knows of a reputable shop in which to have it done?  
Somewhere in this statement:

> Who has had a car painted; where, what was the cost, how did it turn out, and would you recommend to someone else?

I somehow said i want a cheap paint job done by an ameture, and i’m going to do the prep work myself even though i don’t know what I’m doing?  
this is ridiculous.  
I got a few leads, thanks for the help. This thread can be closed.
