I know a good paint guy... been in business for quite a while and has NEVER advertised, only word of mouth, that should say something. does great work, he is the guy that I am going to get to repaint my fascia when I am ready... PM me if you want the info, but it is all the way down in Escondido. Would be worth the drive in my never to be humble opinion though.
