Corvette Paint Shop Recommendations

I live in Poughkeepsie, NY and own a 1983 Corvette and would like to know the best place to get it repainted in the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT, or PA)? I would like personal recommendations from forum members, who had their vettes repainted (to incl. shop name/location, stripping/painting method, turn around time, price, etc.).

I just noticed my typo. If I had a 1983 Corvette it would be the only one on the planet, as they didn't make one that year!

Thanks. This forum is great. I already got a lot of responses and one really good tip I plan to check out next week. I've been a CO for 31 years and never belonged to any organizations before. Buzz 'n Todd would really like this one!
