Can anyone recommend a finisher to restore my Sun's original paint work in the London region?

I made a couple of calls to local shops and am looking at about £100,

this seems a little steep to me and if it's going to cost I'd like to

make sure it's going to be a special job that will last so recommendations would be much appreciated.

For ref: It's a '66 Worksop Sun (built in the Carlton factory), strangely it never had any decals (I had it in it's original livery direct from the original owner) and have never known it's model. After some frame damage was repaired to a seat stay I stripped the rest of paint

and repainted it (very badly, I know) and now it's looking very sad; http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7243/3469/1600/image-1.jpg The original paint work was identical to the Huffy Corsair pictured on the CR site so can use this for reference (although the colours in

day light look half way between the two pictures); http://www.classicrendezvous.com/images/British/Carlton/CarlHuf3L.jpg
