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.

Well if you go with him then, let me know when you will be bringing it down. I'll stop by, his shop is like 15 mins from my house.

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.
