Paint or sell
My paint looks terrible and a decision needs to be made:
1. Keep the car and get a good paint job
2. Sell the car as is and accept I will get less because of the crappy paint
3. Have a cheap paint job done just to sell it
The three places I am looking at getting it painted are:
Precision Collision Orlando
Samuels Autobody
a friend of a friend
Any suggestions for paint shops?
Does anyone have a good idea of what a 2001 with 100k miles is worth? and what it would be worth with terrible paint?
If I sell the car I will probably look for an 04 or 05 with low miles.

If the S2000 is paid off, I'd suggest getting a great new paint job. I know Toekneeg recently had his S2000 repainted, might want to contact him & see what he paid for his paint job.
Not familiar with the companies you listed for repainting your S2000, but I'll suggest National Imports (John Young Parkway & Old Winter Garden Road). They do all of the local Jaguar repairs/repaints , and do alot of custom work.

Repaint it ... I had my first S2000 repainted (factory black) and LOVED it. It was a partial insurance claim from a little fender-bender ... so, I paid another $300 to have the entire car painted. I know I got a deal and it was a friend-of-a-friend who painted the car (and one of the best painters in my area.)
My threshold would be no more than $800 for a really good paint job.
Good luck figuring it out though ... sounds like a tough decision.
