Default paint shop in PA?

i have a hood that i need to get put on my car. ive had it for over a year, and i just either havent had the money to get it painted, and when i do have the money, i cant find a place!
So does anyone have a lead on a good place (or individual) in eastern pa that would do a good job, and not be too expensive?

www.steelseductions.com - Private shop located in Lancaster, Pa, so it will be cheaper than a major body shop. Its run by a very good friend of mine. He does awesome work. Give him a call and tell him Reid sent you.

So how do you like it? Any pics of the final product? I saw it only after the underside of the hood was painted. I didn't get to see it all done and on the car.

i love it. he did a great job on the hood... the only problem was that the paint was a bit too red, and because he didnt blend the front, it stands out. im going to take care of that myself i think. after recently painting a berger panel, i think i have a future in painting... lol.

i took one pic to show the color difference. its not this noticeable when there isnt light shining right on it though.




and here is one of the berger... i might as well post it up seeing as i mentioned it.
