A ggod place to start is to find a local car club
either old cruisers or hot rodders or import racers
and find out who does their work and how much and how
long. I have found that people who take pride in their
cars love to recommend people. Then personality is a
must. I go and talk to the people taking the car with
me. Remember, you get what you pay for in a paint job.

work)
