Help!! Paint Shop

Okay, I got some paint (VIN number matched), a basecoat, activator, and clear coat. I want to have my engine cover painted and also maybe my son's Power Wheels Camaro (for Xmas). I don't have a paint gun so I can't do it myself. Does anyone know of a good paint shop that will do this for me? And not charge me an arm and a leg? I know it's just my engine cover, but I want it to be a good shop that I can trust will use the paint and clear I give them. I have way more than enough and it'd be nice to get what's not used back in case I need it for the future.

Any help?

I don't have any experience with the following, but a girl here at work had the fender of her Gun-Metal Gray Rustang repainted by them and it came out pretty good. Check out the attachment:

You know that we have our own body shop and complete paint booth as part of our new 26,000sqft facility right? Shoot me a PM and we can quote you or stop by to check out the new place! Just disregard the mess while we are still setting up!

Danny's in Long Beach was recommended to me by BowtieJunkman
http://dannysautopainting.com/

I recently used Auto B Craft just down the street from them - recommended/covered
by State Farm. They made the boo-boo disappear.

My buddy used a painted VC to become Optimus Prime lol


There's quite a few places to choose from
Affordable to sky high
The better shops at the upper end of the spectrum include
Nathan @ C&C collision; Ken @ K&W Autobody; Hiro @ Sixteen Customs...

Nathan and Sixteen both use Glasurit...Most shops charge additional to use it (even more than BASF);.....I'm sure they could subsitute

[PM sent]...
