Default need a great body shop in Central IL

ok, not for my F body.... but the last time I had my Grand National painted, it was a rust free 60K mile car, 4 years later (no winters) the car has rust on both quarters, rockers, and the trunk lid. I am going to probably attribute this to a relatively poor prepping and painting by the last shop.

I know I will have to buy a new trunk lid, my guess is the quarters can be patched...I want the whole car repainted, not necessarily super perfect show car paint, but it better look damn good, and I would like the door jambs and etc done. Is there any place around here that does some awesome work for a reasonable price? (under $5,000) I don't mind the car being down for weeks, if not months, I have a company car and a few others to drive.

I know any shop with a brain and a spray gun can make a 10K mile fiberglass car look good, I want a shop that can take care of my rust issues and make it last for awhile, because I'd rather not repaint this car every 4 years...its a lil costly.

Check Paul's Autobody in Bloomington. They did some work for me and were doinf frame off stuff as well. Price was reasonable.
