Need help finding shops in Hartford area - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Now that the 1LE is in bed for winter, I'd like to get some work done on my truck. Sorry it's not Camaro talk, but I figured you guy's know cars and car places so here goes...

1) I'm Looking for shops that do vinyl work (stripes, etc.), exterior and maybe interior.

2) I'm also looking for off-road shops that sell and/or install lift kits. I'm trying to learn what's involved, trade-offs / etc. so I'm also looking for a place that will consult without just trying to sell a package I don't need.

3) This one is actually Camaro related. I'm also looking for a custom painter to air-brush my engine cover. Not sure exactly what I want, so I'd like to find someone who can start with what I have in mind and make suggestions on what exactly to do.

I'm beyond picky about stuff so I'm hoping someone knows of places that pay attention to detail and care about worksmanship. Any suggestions?

For question # 2 , go to four wheel parts.com. That's where I got my pro comp 6" lift and I got an extra 1" on the rear blocks ,and leveled it out by turning up the torsion bars a little on the front . That and a 3" body lift got me where a wanted with some 37" tires.
They have different deals at different times so just keep checking till you see what you want .

What are you looking to spend on air brush artists? I love the work Kandyman Kustoms did on mine but it ain't cheap. I would spend it again in a heartbeat though.

I can get you contact information if you are interested. I don't think the picture does it justice.

Wow, that's some nice work for sure! I wasn't thinking of that much detail and was hoping to keep it under $300. I have no idea what a reasonable price is though. I can look the place up online to see if they've got a web page with contact info.

They are a specialty shop and I don't think will do simple work. It's not just the detail you see, it's the prep. They do it right and that takes all the time. All the edges in the STB are nice and smooth for example.
