Thirdgens in MA where are you getting Painted!!!

Hi guys, a few of you know me from all the radom stuff I have done to my car. Well it is time for it to finally get painted. I live in Needham, close to Boston. I am looking for a nice custom shop to paint my car. I have only found one and they quoted me something like 5 grand to paint it plain old artic white. Is this about right? I was thinking more like 4 grand or even less. Granted they did say they assemble the car, make it all fit just right, paint all parts seperatly, then put back togeather. Real professional like. But 5 grand is a bit high. Please advise. Thanks.
-Dennis

Talk to chicken's customs in Worcester- it's worth the drive (only an hour).
Check this forum, the guys from the shop post there and everyone there knows the shop.

Oh cool. Another needham person. Small world. Anyways, how are they there? Good? Great... I have asked around at collition centers before and had bad luck. Can we meet up sometime and you can show some work they have done to your car? I would love to stay local if at all possible. Thanks.

By the way, how old are you redfirebirdman8?

Ok, well I got stuff to do afterwork today, but maybe tomorrow or something. I am in and around town all the time. I will swing by Roches tomorrow or the next day...if I remember. If not, we can meet up at my house sometime. I used to have guys from this site come over on Saturdays so that we could talk about our cars. Once my car is done I plan to put all my effort into making a real nice/fun car club. Anyways, I will try to swing by Roches... What has the collition center worked on, on your car? So I know what to look at.
later
