add on, talk with the painter let him take you through the paint process, ask the painter how long he has been in it, try to notice is he is truthful. ask the painter what school he graduated from to learn to paint, ask him if his paint room has a down draft or side draft, ask him if it is heated(the best paint jobs always come out of a paint room that is around 80 on the inside), make sure he uses flex additive, there are others too prob but im tired.

Just look at the shop. You wouldn't eat in a restaurant that's dirty, you don't get your car painted in a dirty body shop either.

That's what I look for.
