Any freelance car painters in SoCal?, Looking for someone to paint my car Options

[ahdoman]

Car is prepped and ready for paint. Looking to spend around $1000 for the job. It can be painted in my garage. I would do it but after all this work I really don't want to mess it up. I've already checked with Maaco, One Day and the other guys and it won't work with them. They want to paint the car together as a roller. Anybody got any referals?

This sounds like something my co-worker just shared with me:

"A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a 'handy-woman' and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said, 'How much will you charge me?'

Delighted, the girl quickly responded, 'How about $50?'

The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, 'Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?'
He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?'

The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately.'

Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

'You're finished already?' the startled husband asked.

'Yes', the blonde replied, 'and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.'

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her along with a ten dollar tip.

'And by the way,' the blonde added, 'it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus.'" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
