have a relationship with one or more local body shops to handle their work. If you ask the service manager they will likely tell you who it is, and you can contact them directly. To get a high quality factory like job on a black car, plan on spending some serious $$. All the trim, rubber and glass should be removed from the body to paint the edges around the cornners etc. The paint should be stripped and nay surface rust remmoved and and the metal preped for a new primer and paint finish. Otherwise it would be a scuff, tape n' spray job that will never look as good or last as long as a factory finish. Before you do this, I would take the car to a pro detailer to find out if they feel the paint could be resotred, this would be far less expensive and preserve the original paint.
Just my opinion , john
