Seeking a Body/Paint Guy in NW Suburbs of Chi

Hey guys, I'm looking to paint my 85 IROC. Looking for someone in the northwest suburbs area of Chicago.
Car will stay the same color and not planning to do door jams or engine bay.
I can remove lights, trim, ground effects, and any badges if that's helpful.
Please let me know if anyone knows someone that does a good job and is interested in this work.
Thanks all

Check out Todd Dobratz in Portage WI, about 2 hours from NW Chi Burbs. Pricey but perfect work, if that is what you are after.

It all depends on your budget and what you want done. I work for Ringbrothers in Spring Green, WI. About 3 hrs from Chicago. I redid the paint on my 92 there off hours.
