I was going to recommend them but was not sure if it was OK. I dealt with Charlie on a custom body, they do great work. The nice thing is you can see the work of many of the painters and find the one that best fits your style. Prices vary, most are reasonable.

what you want is a certified cfx pro painter, anyone with the credentials will paint you up the baddest body possible and will do it with little to no issues, if you do have one it will be brought to the attention of the paint community and dealt with accordingly

you cant be certified unless you meet the requirments and you have proved to the community that you can paint, paint well and do it in a timley fashion most prices should be in the same range, you want cheap work you'll get cheap work, you want the best you gotta pay for it. look at all the painters even the old ones and see what you want, for the basic 50-70 for the inbetween 80-120 and the "extreme" pro work done by your best painters will be 150 and above

these are only about figures but gives you a good idea of what your gonna pay and what you want to look for

also when checking if they post up work on a regular nearly weekley basis they will be a quick and easy paint, if there work is posted not so regularly then chances are they will probally take a little longer do to the type and difficult of the paint work along with there own personal lifestyles.

remember most painters dont do it for a full time job, and if they do they will make you pay for it.

if you need any more advice let me know, im very familiar with most of the painters on cfx
