Find a high school body shop program or technical/vocational school body
shop program and find out who the better students are; approach them about
doing the painting for you 'on the side'.
Back in the day when my buddy and I were in the high school program he used
to flow paint on the weekends to earn some cash; they'd buy all the
materials and he'd give them an excellent job for a great price compared to
a commercial shop.

Robert
