find something local. get an estimate. not just of the amount of paint and labor, but the amount of time. find out if they have a downdraft booth. find out if they can alter the temperature in the booth (faster drying time). since you've done a lot of prep work yourself, they will probably not charge too much for prep, but they will go over the car to make sure the prep was done right. if it is a halfway decent job, then they should cut you a break. expect the bill to be somewhere in the 1k-1.5k area, dependent on the amount of prep work they have to do.

i'd say bring your car down here, but i am not back in the shop until late september (took the summer off), so that may or may not work into your schedule. also, the painter in the shop where i was interning doesn't like to paint whole cars. he has in the past, like his brother's f-150 (my first start-to-finish prep job).
