Paint and body shop owners?

Anyone in the Texas chapter own a paint and body shop? I at some point in the near future will need my truck painted and would like to support someone on here. I am doing a full off frame resto so I would like a professional paint job. Would like to stick around the Killeen/Austin area. Also if you have any recommendations for that area it would be greatly appreciated too.

Sweet ride 78! I wish I knew someone from around here that's on the forum and does paint and body as I may want to go that route down the road. If you find someone please update this thread. It may even bring 'em some business.

I used to hang out on the Texas Fishing Forum, but since I sold my boat I haven't been out much and now hang out on the Texas hunting Forum. There was a guy that went buy Saltydawg88 that ran the Granger forum.

If you use the shop in Hamilton, let us know how it turns out. I'm just down the road from there in Goldthwaite and I'm starting to look for some place to paint my '66 Mustang. I knew about the place in Hamilton and been by it but haven't heard anything about it.

I will do that but to be honest this is going to be a slow restoration since I am doing full up and it will cost so much. It may be a while before I get it in there. I did talk to the guy though and he said his shop rate is $100 an hour. Anyone know if that's good for body work?
