Any idea of a good paint shop? I need a paint job very soon. Also lately when I drive on the freeway my car doesn't drive steady, it feels super light to the point that I feel like the car is about to loose control. I would appreciate
any tips and suggestions

Beautiful ride!
Get her up on a lift and check the condition of the rubber front control arm bushings, the ball joints and the tie rods. Same drill on the rear - check the subframe bushings for wear and looseness.
Any of these can cause loose steering feel / wandering and/or vibrationn.
Are the wheels torqued correctly and tire pressures OK?
If all this checks out, the next place to look would be the steering rack and the steering flex joint.101

I've changed both control arms, bushings, tie rods inner and outer, also the flex joint, But the steering rack, maybe I should look into it, also how hard is it to replace the rear hub and bearingComment
