Default Recomendations for Mid-Alantic Paint Shops

I have flown my RV9A for 130 hours and am ready to have it painted. I am base at KVAY in South Jersey and would like any recommendations for shops within a hour or so flying time.
Thanks, Joel

Default Here's 2 in PA

1) Lancaster Aero Refinishers - located in Smoketown, PA (S37) did mine, very nice job. Not cheap.
2) Three in the Green - located at Zerby (KZER) - friend just got his 8 done there - nice job, good value.

Can't advise on local paint shops Joel if I paint it would be TX but wondering how did you manage to fly 130 hours under local VAF radar?

Oh, Jim Russell in Greenwood, DE at Chorman airport did my C172 also.
That I kept outside eight years after he painted it and I always got compliments on how nice it looked. I did polish it religiously !
