Wanted: Painter near SE Michigan, Looking for recommendations Options

[mangrum]

Hi Guys,

I have a '72 914 that needs a paint job. I have done a bit of body work and am looking for a shop that would be willing and able to do the paint work.

Anyone have any recommendations for shops SE Michigan?

Thanks,
Mike

Found a painter and work has started.

The first challenge was finding a shop that would do a paint job. Most shops just do insurance collision work. Second challenge was finding a shop that would do a paint job on top of my body work. Third challenge was finding a shop that would come to my house to look at the car since is not drive-able without doors, lights, etc. Fourth challenge was finding a shop that would do a paint job at a reasonable cost. One shop suggested $15k and another 7.5k and could not guarantee it would not be higher.

Anyway, work has started and the shop owner said it is a very solid car. But I pretty much knew that.

Last challenge is to get the job finished in a reasonable amount of time. This is not high on the priority list since the shop's bread and butter is in insurance collision work.
