Hey guys. I have a 70 velle that is finally gonna get painted. This is my situation. The velle has a sold coat of epoxy primer that has not yet been blocked or wet sanded. I will be removing the bumpers and other exterior pieces to keep costs down. I have almost a whole gallon of DuPont color matched cortez silver base. I would like to use this paint if possible. I have about 1800 dollars to spend on this paint job. I would like to do black stripes with this silver. I would be providing the painter with the appropriate stencils. Is this something that is do able for the money that i have? Anyone know any good shops here in the SF Bay Area that you recommend or have had any experience with. Any input would be highly appreciated as i am great with mechanics, but paint is a foreign world to me. Thanks a lot. Daniel

Even if you don't have any opinions on the paint issue i would appreciate any help on shops in the SF Bay Area.
