In your own garage buddy!
Buy some safety glasses.
You can jackoff with a fake hand but you cant see out of a glass eye.

I had a maaco paint job once, many years ago. i was happy with it, It wasn't perfect but i really didn't need it to be and it was a good price,
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Im in the process of a full body resto on my YJ.  Iv finished all the big stuff, including replacing/fabricating some body panels.  Doesnt look that great but from 5 feet with a lil dirt on it you cant tell.  Cost be about 400 for materials and tooling.  (that include buying the welder).  And I defintaly dont have any welding/body skills prior to this job.  The best part is there is no bondo in it (aside from the neccesary skim coat) which is more than you will get in most shops in calgary.  Most people weld a flat panel in behind, and layer the bondo on thick enough and then contour it.   If you got a garage, do it yourself.  Feel free to PM me for pointers (once again not a pro, but mine looks pretty good)
