What if you ask the painters (those you know will give you the quality you want) what their hourly rate is, and if they will do the job based on cost of materials and hours worked? That can work out very well for you, and the quick turnaround for your paint job might amaze you.

Glen, thanks for the reply, all the shops I spoke with were pretty firm on the 20k prices. I have no regrets of sending it to California to be painted by Jeff. He has a great reputation and the price of paint and shipping is significantly less than all the quotes I got here! Hope to meet you soon!
