welcome back. sorry to hear that. i know that if you do sand it down urself it can be a PITA . and i know alot of shops wont paint it if you sanded it ur self and primered it because it could mess with the way they do it. when i had my old car i did the sanding a primer myself and i toke it to 3 shops before one said they would do it. the reason for that is that alot of shops give you some kind of warrenty and when i toke it to those shops they said if something starts chipin or spyder crackin due to my sandin and primering they wouldnt give me a warrenty. if i was you i would just goo and find a decent place that isnt outragous and get them to do it . always good to get it with a warrenty u never know what could happend and then you can go back and have them redo it .lol
hope that helps
