Looking for someone to paint a guitar body. Would love a factory finish Pelham blue on my Reverend Double Agent.

Any suggestions/referrals would be greatly appreciated.

You might try a local auto body shop.

Yeah, an auto body shop can do it. I have no idea how much they would charge, though. I know that most pro guitar refinishers (like Pat Wilkins) can charge $300 or more to paint and finish a guitar body.

With an auto body shop, you are tying up their booth, which may matter.

Check if a local college has anauto body course. They may take it on.

Failing that, check with a couple of local guitar shops or on Facebook -- someone may know someone who does it.
