I wish you luck..."great" and "reasonable" are terms seldom used in the same sentence when referring to paint and bodywork. The only thing you left out was that they must meet their estimated schedule. You would probably be better served by visiting the local shops and talking to the staff in person.

I second visiting the shop. Here in WA state I have a hard time finding whole car paint jobs, everybody wants fast easy insurance jobs. My dad had hi 49 Fleetline painted for $7800. and they did a great job BUT he stripped all moldings windows ect off car. and it took 3 month. Good luck on finding it. Me I'm gonna paint mine myself. I'm sure I can do better than Maaco.

I was planing to try painting it myself. There is a guy up in Athens that I met through the Porsche world that has had surprisingly good luck painting cars under his deck in the back yard. Seems risky to me but he has had great results.
