Default Anyone know of a good body/paint shop in CT?

I'm looking for a good shop in CT to paint and install a carbon fiber hood, Aerocatch hood pins, side skirts and rear bumper. I live in Middletown so central or northern CT would be best for me but I'll drive anywhere for a good shop.

I don't expect a perfect paint match as I know Chrome Silver is not easy but a good shop could come very close. Let me know if you know of anyone.

Thanks.

I live in Cheshire and i know Dowling Auto Body in chshire does a reaaaal good job. For my previous car, they quoted me to paint my rear bumper, sides and front for 800 dollars. They are real busy though.

Hey Vic,
Happy New Year....

I agree with 13secz. I've had my Z front bumper cover painted at Olender's. Jeff and Dave are great guys.

Funny story though. I was storing the bumper cover in my basement and a squirrel got in and chewed the black grill in places. I'm trying to fix it myself but may end up having to put in an after market grill.

Do you have a number or address for this shop? I tried to look them up but couldn't find them.

Installing and painting the bodykit isn't a big deal. My biggest concern is that I want to have Aerocatch hood pins installed and this requires cutting into the carbon fiber hood and not every shop is comfortable doing this type of work.
