Paint in the Hartford, CT area?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some decent and affordable paint work in the Hartford, CT area. I'm planning on ordering some new parts hoping there's somewhere in the area that can do good quality paint without charging an arm and a leg.

I'm actually up in MA, but willing to drive south a little since I cannot find anywhere in my area that does decent work at a decent price. I also tried Hoffman Auto Body in Hartford after hearing good things, but they wanted $350 just to paint an aero lip - over $100 more than it would cost me to order a pre-painted lip!

I'm looking to get M3 rep side skirts and a spoiler painted for under $200. Think that's possible around here?

Were you the one I helped with the courtesy wash when your car was in for service?

I have a paint guy that does it on the side out of his house, extremely reasonable. I can try giving him a call for a ballpark price if you'd like.

Hey, yeah, that was me! I wound up writing a nice email to New Country and mentioned your name and how much I appreciated you taking the time to help me out.

If you could ask you paint guy what he would charge for the skirts and the spoiler, that would be great.
