How about a Maaco if you "just need some paint"? There is one in Farfax.

Wagonwerks and Europros are known for their quality work.. Just don't expect it back soon and you'd likely have to pay a bit more

What kind of paint? how many coats? color change? full inside/outside paint? how much prepping are you doing? how much bodywork/fillwork to be done? Street car? Show car? race car?

Actually maaco does good if you get pick the right shop... sand the pieces your self then let them prep them again and spray... got a paint job in richmond at maaco and it was perfect for a daily driver.. less orange peel that most factory car paint jobs, no runs or sags... best 550 I spent.... 600 with my sanding before hand... no chips on it and it's been 5 years.
