Need Paint help Pittsburgh or close
Does anyone know someone that can repaint half or all of my car for less then a million dollars in or with in an hour or 2 of Pittsburgh? Someone was doing me a "favor" at work and washed my car with purple rush engine degreaser and got the back half of the car covered in it before i know wtf was going on my car. The paint on the rear is fading and clear has started to peel now 
I dont want to spend more on paint then the car is worth. There is little to no body work just needs resprayed. Any help or suggestions would be great. Paying 4,000 for paint on a car that is worth 7-10 at best is not an option as far as i am concerned.

Talk with a few small car lots and find out who does their work. I had a C3 painted by one of these guys a few years ago and it turned out beautiful. He worked out of his home shop and had his teen boys do all the prep work. He charged about 1/2 of what a body ship did.
This is the only pic I have left of her. It was scanned from a cheap camera prior to the digital age. Photo was a bit damaged but this 81 vert brought a good price at Bloomington Gold Mecum auction on the last season it was actually held in Bloomington.
