Recommended paint shops in Western MA or Hartford CT area?
Wondering if anyone has some suggestions for paint shops in either the Springfield, MA or Hartford, CT areas that will do a good job and not charge outrageous amounts. Looking to get an aero lip and maybe some skirts and a rear bumper painted.
Thanks!

I have never used them but they are local to me and allegedly these guys are pretty good.

If youre in the Sturbridge area, I highly recommend Gabe at Sturbridge Automotive. I broke down near there and by luck and chance ended up going to him to get the water pump replaced...he is also a body shop.
He took pics of the tear down and replacement, did a few more things for me while the front of the motor was apart and guarantees his work. His rates are resonable...the work will speak for itself. I doubt if it will get you a discount...but tell him the guy with the maroon E91 wagon and home made E36 trailer recommended him.... JP |

A friend of mine recommended Hoffman Auto Body in the Hartford area - let me tell you, don't even bother. I dropped the lip off there last Saturday and they wouldn't give a ballpark estimate but said they were competitive. I get a call back on Tuesday after they've held the thing for three days and they tell me they want $350 to paint it. I could buy a brand new pre-painted lip for less than that! After telling them the price seemed high and was more than I wanted to pay, they simply said "well come get it then" and hung up. No negotiation, no apology, nothing.
