I spent a summer going to car shows and asking who painted your car/truck.
Got a lot of replys this person or that person. died couple years ago, quit doing it and more.
End of summer I had quotes from 4 places lot was 4000.00 high was 17,00o.00 dollers.
But the reviews from the car show guys said use this guy painted my car 28 years ago.
18 years ago.
22 years ago.
17 years ago.
Price was right and all chrome was removed for a nice paint job. 4 coats of base color and 4 coats of clear..
Life time guarantee, againest cracking, splitting, pealing, fadeing and other.
Talk to people who used that painter and ask to see what she/he painted.
don't buy a pig in a poke.
