Looking for a good painter near Seattle for my '75 914. Stock color, no real damage aside from some slight surface rust, door dings, needing the tweaked hood replaced, and some other minor items taken care of. Daily driver, so the job needs to be finished fairly quickly.

It is going to depend what your goal is and what your budget is.

A repaint from MAACO (or someone similar) can probably be done fairly quickly, will cost only a couple thousand, but it is very possible you will not be happy with the quality of the job. I wouldn't be. In fact I'd rather have original paint with some surface rust and dings than a MAACO repaint.

A "good" job from a body shop that would include fixing the dents and dings but not painting the trunk interiors, jambs, etc., and in the same color as current, would probably be about $6-8k and would be filler work for them...2-6 months.

A "great" paint job from a body shop that does restoration work and would include a complete repaint is about $20k where I live. It would take up to a year.
