I generally have a big distrust for most car painters.. Body repairmen generally also fit the same mold.
I can honestly say that I can count the good paint jobs I have had done in the past sixty plus years on a couple of fingers..
My '36 was repainted in 1961 for $60. material and labor by the local Studebaker garage.. No metal work, and I took off all of the trim, bumpers, etc.
The local Maaco shop has done some very good paint jobs for several of my neighbors and friends. I know several guys that work on old cars, they generally have cars that they are "flipping" painted by Maaco..
