Default Looking for recommendations?

Hey everyone! It's time to get my '65 Malibu painted and I'm looking for recommendations on some good paint shops that do show quality jobs but for an affordable price. I wish for it to be a two-tone. After it's done getting painted I plan on putting in an LS1.

Thanks,

Jason

P.S. I live in Sacramento, CA

Well pesonally if i was you, and if you are doin the swap yourself, i would put the ls1 in first, then paint it. I only say this cuz i just started my ls1 swap into my 3rd gen (by just i mean ive taken the hood off so far) and i managed to scrach the paint on the fender while just taking the hood off! If you are payin somone else to do it, then you could probably get it painted an make them worry about watchin for the paint. But honestly i wouldnt risk it. But as for good paint places in sacramento,ca, i couldnt tell ya, i live in chicago.
