Portland OR area Paint Shops

Hi gang,

I'm having real trouble getting used to the paint scheme on my 1951 200 Deluxe Touring Sedan. Fire Engine Red with a White top just doesn't get it for me. I'd much rather return it to the original single color Matador Maroon. Can anyone in the Portland area recommend a good paint shop? A complete down to bare metal $10,000 paint job is not in the budget. But somewhere around half that might be doable.

When the car was repainted, whoever did an excellent job and is good enough that I'd leave it alone were it not for the colors. Although I may have to learn to at least not mind it, I'd much rather go back to the maroon. Not because it was "original" but because I think that color would really look good on that body.

I'd be more than willing to do some of the work myself - such as removing the trim, grill, bumpers etc.

My thanks in advance -
