Lightbulb Shop Recommendation for Paint Job?

I'm not too familiar with shops in the k-w area, was just wondering if anyone could recommend some good body shops that could repaint my car the stock color. I also have some lips to be mounted/painted as well. I'm kind of on a budget, so hoping to spend no more than 1500, but I'm not really sure if that will get me a quality job or not. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

I tend to agree. Not that its impossible to paint a car for under $1,500, however unless you know someone and are friendly with a shop owner or a guy doing it outta his garage you definitely aren't going to get quality for $1,500.

If you do find a shop that says they will paint it for $1,500 ask what type of warranty you get on peeling, cracking, orange peel and such.

yea you're right i wont get anything decent for 1500, was just curious what that price would get me. i've reconsidered how much I want to spend so now I'm just looking for a good shop that can do it and maybe work with a little fiberglass.
