Painters in birmingham?

Income tax is getting closer and I need to start talking to some shops or people on here about painting my 93 GT.

I want to go back with the original performance red and new to very light hailstone dings fixed. I want to do the engine bay as well but the door jams can be left the way they are.

I also may want to get the "mustang gt" lettering in my side skirts and rear bumper done in black and possibly 2 black stripes down the car.

I am in irondale AL east of birmingham so keeping it in the Bham area is what i want. I will be pulling the engine and all the weatherstripping,trim panels ect myself before bringing it to be painted.

Any reccomendations of board members or a shop to goto?

I rly want to but I have zilch experience with paint and want to get it done right.
I don't really want my project car to be the one i learn to paint on.I'll buy some piece of shit for that. plus i got like i said a couple hailstone dings that need repaired on the roof.

But not for most folks. Especially on the prep.
