Question Paint shops close to Philadelphia...?

I've received several quotes from paint shops in and around Philadelphia. All ranging from $4,000-$10,000. I'm hoping to get something for around $2,000, I'm willing to travel a couple hours to get to the shop. Any recommendations??

What are you trying to paint? A panel, whole car? Remember you get what you pay for.

The whole car. I'm willing to do some prep/sanding work to keep the price lower.

I will ask around...

Just curious whats the purpose for a respray? I'm working on a black SC next week its not in the best shape but a good compounding/polish/jewel is going to bring it back to showroom condition at 1/10th of the cost of a respray.

careful because most shops wont warranty work if you do the prep work yourself. my buddy works at Cavallos in West Chester on 202. great shop with very skilled people. The place is very expensive though but like someone else said you get what you pay for
