What are you restoring? Sometimes you can find shop info on message boards like this dedicated to other makes/models. Also pick up a copy of Hemmings Motor News and check the vendors sections.

I'm restoring an 88 camaro. Been at it for a while, but with 2 jobs and school been tough lately. Trying to get back into it this summer.
2 summers ago I spent months scrubbing away undercoating and media blasting the underside of a car. Then I used Picklex 20 (phosphoric acid / zink) solution and then started applying Zero Rust. Had to leave the car for few months in the winter, came back and found new rust coming back right through the new paint.
So now I am thinking I need professional help, at a minimum to take a look at the car and offer advice. I am considering either having the car dipped, or professional blasting. The problem is that I do not see what professionals can do with media blasting, that I didn't do already. I am sure they can do it way faster than me, but I thought I was being thorough and it took me months. Kinda frustrating
