Default Central Florida Painters

Hey guys, i'm a long time lurker, and post here and there. I'm really starting to gear up with restoring my 98 SS. Im not looking to make a show car by any means, just a nice clean SS. Does anyone know of any good paint shops, or anyone who paints on the side in the Tampa, Lakeland, or Orlando area? I plan on doing a lot of the prep work myself, I just don't have the facility or space to paint a car right now. Any help or advice would be great.

Thank you very much, i'll give them a looK! I also found some places on TR that might be able to help me out. Once I get my new hood i'll be ready to prep it for paint! I can't wait.

I have seen multiple vipers, vettes including mine, camaros, mustangs and tons of old school hot rods done by him his work is flawless. He doesnt half *** anything and he treats every car like his own.

That's a good price. I received quotes on TR from 1200-1500 for respray without jambs. Down side is they arent the closest locations for me. Im looking at 5-6 months.
