well - I'll do all my own body work, and prep work. however, all my final spraying will be done by a the bodyshop here.
the guy that owns the shop here has been in business for 20+ years, and he never lacks for work. he's great to work with enthusiasts. if I park my project in his shop it's $100 a month, and then I only pay him for the actual time he spends helping me (and materials).
he lends me tools to use at home sometimes for nothing (snap on etc.). I'll let him do all my final spraying, and difficult touch up work & paint matching. it's worth it for the knowledge, and tons of time he doesn't charge me for.
