Hey all, hoping you can suggest a paint shop in Colorado. I'm looking at picking up a C3 sometime in the near future, and if it's the one I'm leaning towards now, it's a 69' that will need paint.

I'm not looking for showroom quality, will $3k get me a decent paint job? It's sanded and primed, ready for paint.

I can highly recommend Fix Auto Jerry Standers in Highlands Ranch. One of the best guys to handle your vette. Dan Standers really knows his stuff. Known for a long time, done some stuff on my 91' vette. Very good reputation for honest work done, and wanting it done right.
