Default lookin' for a paint job

Now that I've got my crux I've got some stuff to take car of. Near the top of my list is the paint.

There are some rust spots that need to be cut out and redone. Not that many or that bad but I need/want the job done right.

I want to keep the car the same color; white.

I'm looking to spend around a grand so if anyone knows anyone at a shop who can help me out please let me know.

No over spray or someone learning what to do on my car. Just a nice, clean, professional job.

Let me know.

I'll strip the car myself. Just so I know there won't be any overspray. Not looking for expensive paint, just white. A few coats of clear. The rust removal is where I need the help most.

You meant 700 right? Not 7000?
