Default Body shop/Back yard painter needed!

I have about $600 to spend on a paintjob. I need to paint it black or white and will need the door jams to match. I'm looking for a decent body shop in Roanoke/Salem area. Wondering if anyone have any good experience w/ local shops or even someone who paints in their own garage! Please post up or pm me to help me out. Thanx!

Well, I've already got all the dents/dings pulled out and the car is currently primered. Really just needs actual paint over it. I've heard good things and bad things about Macco. I was told if I do the prep work(masking, removing parts) myself, Macco jobs should be okay right?

pm gonzoe00 about it, he got his car painted at a Maaco where he knows the guy or somethin, his turned out awesome so I would recommend going to that specific one, considering they are all either a hit or miss since its a huge chain..
