Dogs?
I had my 70 Ranchero GT painted at the Terrel Ford place. They did a really good job but that was several years ago and the manager of the paint shiop was trying to make a name for himself. They wound up keeping several pictures of my car. This was the first car they had ever painted in Kronar so Dupont even showed up with a couple of factory engineer types to supervise the whole job.
My best advise is to ask for some references and go visit and have them show you other people's cars that they are working on. You will get a pretty good idea what kind of work they do from that. Good luck finding anybody these days. Most of the shops I know of won't do custom work anymore. They only go where the money is which is insurance collision repair.
