If you're willing to come up to "Yankee" territory, I know of 2 shops which are excellent. The first is an all fiberglass shop, you won't get away with paying less than 12k on a repaint, that's with no weatherstripping/trim work. But it'll look like a museum car and will please the NCRS guys.

The second shop works on only Vettes too, but they don't do some of the things that make a $15,000 paint job a $15,000 paint job. You can get a C4 done for $4-5000 and it will look perfect to everyone except NCRS judges.

Email me if 10 miles north of Wilmington, DE is not out of your way, they're both pretty close to each other.
