Paint Oxidizing

My paint on my green 95 has started to oxidize. It looks like the metallic flakes in the paint are just starting to fall out. The car has never been re-painted so it's probably about time to get it done.

What I need to know, is if anyone can recommend a good paint shop in southern arizona, preferably Tucson. I don't need a show quality paint job, just something around facotry quality.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Don't repaint it just yet. My paint did the same thing and I just used some 3M swirl remover and it's as good as new (except the rock chips in the hood and bumper grr). It's like liquid sandpaper and sort of refinishes the paint if you will. Follow up the swirl remover with a clay bar and then wax it. You will be amazed at how good your paint can still look.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. It's not like it's gonna make it any worse.
