I need help getting my car ready for paint. I'm willing to pay pretty descent but nothing outlandish. I live in MD and willing to drive to anywhere in a 100 mile radius.

Maaco is painting it... But they are charging a arm and leg, plus I have been doing a little homework on the subject and everyone agrees that you should do it yourself. Because they tend to rush through the prep.

I want to get as many as the dings out as possible. The car really isn't in that bad of shape just door ding after door ding along the body.
