  Mike, be carful who paints it.  Auto body/paint production shops like Macco and the like will put the cheapest paint on.  The paint will look good for about 6-12 months then fade and lose it's shine, compounding or waxing will not bring it back.  It all depends on the quality of paint and the experience/care of the painter.  I've seen good paint costing over $400/gl. 

   I've seen paint jobs where the parts sticker was still on the body panel and painted over.  That tells me the prep man didn't prep the car and either the painter was blind or didn't care.

 Thanks IB, what type paint or brand? Do you know any?

 

I've heard Emeron is good.

Best to check with an automotive paint supplier as well as the technician who will be applying it so you get the desired results now with minimal problems in the future.

Here's a supplier near you: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=automotive paint supplies store near oregon city&tbs=lf_msr:-1,lf_od:-1,lf_oh:-1,lf_pqs:EAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=45346982,-122590069,2366&tbm=lcl&rldimm=16742333198580450465&rlfi=hd:;si:1417004879806245545;mv:!1m3!1d413504.96044763655!2d-122.72783715000001!3d45.29640845!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i246!2i442!4f13.1

Need to remember that the body work and paint prep is at least as important as the paint. I would look at painters previous work and also talk to previous customers. Could ask for recommendations at paint supply store. Would like to see you get it right the first time. 

Something you might consider is having job done by a auto body school. They can recommend best products and is much cheaper. It may take longer. Again you can ask for recommendations.
