Default Paint Interior of 993 Track Car

I would appreciate any NoVA recommendations for professionally painting the interior of a track car. Also would like to know a ballpark figure of what I should expect this to cost. I've got all the carpet, insulation, glue, and plastic bits removed already.
Thanks.

It is a track/race car, so forget the bling factor. In the S2, I used rattle can from Homedepot (hammered per VG's reco) for the bottom of the tub and had Homedepot match the OEM white for sides and touch ups which I applied with a paint brush. I do not have any good pictures.

I used the left over white and brush for the 993 and plan to go back to Homedepot to get another quart cause I asm running out. By the time you put things like Rennline floor, seats, fire bottle, cool shirt cooler, etc. not much is visible and you can save a bundle to put toward the fancy shocks, LSD, etc.

just my $0.002

MAACO only charges $200 to paint the outside.. how much can they charge for the inside?

Put the cage in first or at least have the plates welded in, why paint it twice...

Uhhh wait a min...

I agree though, do whatever caging needs to get done first, then paint. Maaco charges so little because they do zero prep work. Interior will require quite a bit more prep. Id say youre looking at around $1000 assuming most of the stuff is out and they can just start spraying.

Balla bling bling factor:
