Boston Area - Shop to paint my grill??

Hi all, I've got a spare front grill and I'm looking to have it sanded down and painted black (or black chromed).

Yes, I could do this myself, but I thought I get some recommendations for shops in the area that people have had good experience with and see what they will charge.

Any info is appreciated, thanks!

Two places with different strategies:

Mike's Autobody in Malden is great- the owner, Mike is a really good guy and strives to make sure everything's perfect. After getting sideswiped he repainted the entire driver's side of my 3000gt. Pricing is lower than many in the area, but I couldn't give you an idea on the grill.

Chicken's Customs in Worcester is also good if you're looking to save some money. Matt Kozak is the owner/operater and he did the original complete paintjob on the 3000gt that Mike's redid. Their work wasn't quite as good as Mike's, but their pricing is considerably lower- and it doesn't take too much skill for a grill job.

Additionally- two of my roommates have had great luck with Today's Collision, they have a few locations near Boston. Their pricing was pretty high but their work is top-notch; they're the official body-shop of the Red Sox.

Good luck with whoever you choose to go with.

-Josh

How about the guy from the Kelly meet who works at a body shop & had his sedan custom painted? (the guy w/ the billet grille)....just a suggestion. Don't know his name though.
