Body shop recommendation?

[Pipes]

Hello all,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a body shop? I just bought an old toyota 4x4. Passenger fender and door are rusted through and I've collected replacements that are in good shape. I have cleaned them up and done 3 coats of primer. When they dry I'll wet sand and they'll be ready for paint. I want to have the whole cab painted (the bed will need metal work so that will have to wait). I've taken it to 3 different body shops in Bellevue who have all said "we don't paint anything that has rust". WTF? Anyways, can anyone recommend a shop?

Body shop recommendation?

Im confused... Why wont they paint it? Cause it has rust? I thought you just said you replaced the metal with new? Other wise it sounds like your wanting to paint over rust. Which is why they are turning you down. You cant paint rust it has to be cut out and replaced. They probably dont want their name on it cause if it bubbles up in 2 years they dont want to do a free paint job.

I want them to paint the cab (which is rust free except the door and fender that I am replacing). I don't want them to paint over rust. But since there is rust on the truck they don't want to touch it.

Ah yea. Replace all that rust first and take it to them with absolutley zero evidence of rust. Youll have better results. They are turning you down cause they dont want there name on something that can potentially need redone do to rust. Seems like they are just covering their asses. Replace that door and fender take it to them. They may change their mind.
