Painter Recommendations in New England?

Like the title says... I'm thinking of removing the BSM stripes and going with paint... any recommendations for a painter in Southern New England (RI, MA, CT)?

Be interested to see what you find. Everyone I've heard of up here has been either over-priced, under-capable, or both for such work...

+1. I acually went to a dealer (Iversen ford) to have some louvers painted and some scratches fixed and was very happy with the quality of work, the price was steep though.

You can ask my guy on the MA border in Nashua, NH.
Dave Illg (not misspelled) at Downtown Collision Center (603) 883-6229.
Up until the LM dealership closed it was their bodyshop.
They put all new equipment in the shop just a couple years ago.
Dave has (or had for many years) a Boss 429 and rebuilt an old Stang vert with his son a few years back.
His guys do good work, I don't know about prices these days.
They always rebuilt my kid's and wife's cars after they wrecked them.

Show winning custom and collision work is done by the Del Gallo family at Factory Collision in Weymouth Mass. 781-331-0113, I have had numerous jobs completed there, along with award winning "BEST OF SHOW" and "BEST PAINT" on a formerly owned 1973 Mustang 'Vert. Their website is www.FCRdesign.com

There is always some type of restoration project ongoing, with a custom bike (or 2) being built as well.

First rate repair work, first rate paint work (custom, flames, etc.) and FIRST RATE PEOPLE!

You will not be disappointed! btw...only ones I trust repairing my cars, other than myself.

Highly recommnded to all, for all types of repairs and customizing, along with hand built choppers!
