Default looking for a painter

i have a 93 metallic colored vette. i'm having some clear coat issues as well as needing some touch up paintwork. can anyone recommend an auto body guy ? i'm concerned with blending of the color (quasar blue) being that it is 12 years old. either in the new haven or fairfield county areas of ct.

thanks

if the colour is still ok, you might be able to repair just the clear.

If the body work is fine, all you are doing is a simple same colour repaint, I would go all the way and know it's perfect.

Expect about $1500~$2000 for a good repaint.

It's a bit of a hike for you, but there is a place in East Longmeadow, Mass (just north of the CT. line): http://www.bodyworks-unlimited.com/

They do, or Used to do, great work. My '85 was done there several years ago (before I bought it) - and it was a first class job.
