Default Looking for a painter - any suggestions?

I buy and sell classics and about 2-3 a month need paint and relatively minor prep. I had a painter here but he is leaving town. I am open to all sorts of things - my last guy basically used a paint booth at a shop at night. I am more concerned with getting stuck in body shop purgatory - I know of lots of good shops, but 1 month turns to two turns to 6. I like to keep things in quick turnaround. So I tend to look for the guys who work at the good shops who do stuff on the side.

Right now I have a 72 BMW 2002tii and a 67 Mustang that are in the wings waiting for paint.

Any leads appreciated.

Thanks
