Nathan is completely right. I'm here in Chicago - and that's been the theme of the year. My local guy whose family owns a very nice reputable shop who is a die-hard Porsche enthusiast won't even touch my car for paint. He's used to color-matching bumpers, doors, hoods, etc - and getting them done fast and clean (ie mostly insurance work for late models). He did my TT bumper and it looks new. But he won't touch my 911 for a full job - you can tell he just doesn't want the hassle, and when you run an efficient shop the last thing you need is probably an old 911 that needs far more work then you think it does.
I get the same vibe from most of the nicer shops I visit. They politely decline - as in Nathan says - no amount of money is worth it to stop the machine.
