There's gotta be a local club. I would start there. JMO
Or, when the weather warms up, go to some cruise nights or weekend shows and ask. Paul in CT |

Re: Restoration painter needed
Not a model a but I talked to maaco about doing a car for myself. The shop manager was into cars and they did 'special' projects as well as the $199. jobs. They quoted me a pretty good price but in the end I decided to do the job myself. They are all independently owned so you may want to try a couple until you hear the right thing. Then again they may simply not be interested in that kind of job in your area.

Re: Restoration painter needed
Our local Maaco will use any paint you supply yourself if you buy it. I have had them paint
With PPG products. They have done it on a week end when they can take the extra time With good results. |

Earl Scheib's I remember well, back in the early 60's I believe it was 19.99

Re: Restoration painter needed
19.99 was the base price, it was extra if you wanted them to
wash the car or roll the windows up. |

Re: Restoration painter needed
I had a buddy in hs that had Maaco paint his mustang. It was red, they didn't too bad of a job but for some reason they decided to paint the interior panels 'as a bonus'. They got the rear side trim painted on one side only before they ran out of paint. Rest of the int. was white!
