Get involved with the local club, groups, and cruise-ins. You must network with local people to find out the best resources and the best valued resources for your restoration effort.

Are you looking for place just to buy the paint itself and then a place to do the paint and body on the car? The place that does the paint is the place the buys and chooses, or chooses with you, the paint.
