Default Aircraft Painter in San Antonio... ?

Guys, I really need someone to paint the interior of my RV-7A in San Antonio. I have tried to coordinate it with a couple of guys in town but they keep flaking out on me and it is holding up my wiring. Does anyone know of a painter who is familiar with aircraft painting who would be interested? I think their is a shortage of painters around here. I would prefer they either have or have access to a paint booth because the first couple times I tried painting it myself I stripped it down due to imperfections from dust and particulate matter.

Thanks.

There was a paint shop on the San Marcos airport... not that far to trailer parts.

Matt,

If you still haven't found anyone, let me know. I know a guy out at Zuehl who does nice work. Not sure how busy he is right now, but if you are still looking, call me at 612 239 5128

Thx,
