Restoring Old Impala To Show Car

I recently bought a 1971 Chevrolet Impala and am really looking forward to painting it. The problem is that I am looking for a candy paint finish and the price tags for that job is anywhere from 10K and up. I had a friend in highschool that worked on his car during tech school but the schools won't contract cars out. I live in the Kansas City area and am looking for someone who possibly is going to school who would take the car as a possible project. Although I have no pictures at time the car is in beautiful condition.
