Default Local Painter?

Anyone know of a local painter around the southwest Georgia area?
I'd definately be willing to tow it 100 miles or so...I'm getting close to painting and really want to find someone who appreciates these cars, and will do a great job! Thanks

just go to a few Saturday night crusie ins or car shows and ask the other drivers who painted their car... after about 3 or 4 of these "shows " etc I bet you will be hearing the same few shops names keep being mentioned over and over agian.,

Car guys usually know the good painters..

I am near you in Douglas. Big Daddy's body shop in Valdosta was recommended for my 82CE. I stripped it, sprayed the primer, and did all the blocking myself and those guys are to paint it next week. I'll post pics after they finish. Their reputation came from the local paint jobber who should know who is good and who is not.
