It's really not the hobbyists the shops don't like, it's the guy's running a repair shop out of his garage. The majority of shops don't want anything to do with resto work or complete paint jobs. They want the "replace a fender and paint blend" insurance work. Unfortunately the hobbyist will get lumped in with the guys doing work on the sly.
