Default body and paint sidework

Im just curious if anyone does.. or may know someone who does bodywork and paint on the side or as sidework ?? Im looking to get a rear quarter repaired and a few dings popped.. and then a full respray in either satin black or olive drab. I could get it done at a very very good shop for a fair price. But it requires me to do all prep work and to put it all back together. To be frank and honest i dont really have the time too.im also not trying to get anyone in trouble so if you do or you do know someone just pm me.

What's your budget? Remember you get what you pay for with bodywork.

You still need a straight panel and smooth paint before wrapping it. Wrap doesn't stick well to bondo.

5k of a budget is pretty decent. if you are in jersey i know DTT in roselle does a good job. Billy took his car there. you should call and inquire. the work they did to his fenders were awesome.

I want to do a vinyl wrap to save money but like others have said panels need to be straight and clean. My car has a few minor dents and one uhmm big ding. Not big in size its a crease and thats bad. Plus with scratches and what not a full paintjob will be the way to go. And right now im just trying to straighten out the whole car before doing the bodywork and paint. I was more or less just curious whats out there. And ultimate collision off rt 1 in edison screwed me over bad so theres no way im going back there.
