Default Painting things in IL...need info!

Anywhere in IL (chicagoland area) that'll paint int. pieces such as center console, radio bezels, LS6 intakes, other such items??? Can't drop a buttload of money. I want the items to be sanded smooth, painted and clear coated.
Thanks
Nick

I'd say you need to let your fingers do some walking in the yellow pages. Might get better responce from Hot Rod shops and the like. I have a freind that works in a body shop, so that is my in, but they won't normally paint stuff like that.

Yeah, I'd like to pain the monsoon radio controls, ac controls, power window controls, and power seat controls black as well. I want it to look like the camaro interior where all the controls are black instead of grey on black.
