100% agree with what Blue Jays said, unless the painter is super well known if a 1 man shop or a bigger company (with several employees or so), in which case I'd be ok with shipping. But, that list is small, about 3-4 names!
I had my Tarmac SL3 resprayed by a shop called Element 6 in Santa Ana. I drove it there and picked it up a handful of months later, which was right per the expected timeline, i.e., no rush.

Meticulously wrapping and packing is a drag and all the weight adds to substantial shipping cost and worry.
The only times that I have frames painted far from my home is if they were proximal to the custom builder's own workshop.
If you already have the frame in your possession that makes the logistics much more of a breeze. Good luck with the search.
