Default Good auto paint shop in Central MA?

I pulled the bumper today and will bring it somewhere to be refinished this week, sanded and painted.
Anyone know of a reasonablly priced shop that does good work in the Worcester area?

One friend suggested Advanced Auto body. Thoughts?

I have a personal friend named Tim who works for Spencer Autobody. Hes a very detailed oriented person and is very picky about his work. (I could even say OCD lol.) He has a bunch of pictures of his work on Facebook let me know.

Roughly 250. But without the rest of the car he cannot guarantee matching paint, as there has to be blending involved.

OK, thanks.

The price is good, having got another quote $200 higher.
My only problem is that the car is off the road, insurance wise. I was hoping just to bring the bumper.
I guess, I'll wait a little bit then put the car on the road and drive it there.

Be back in touch.

In my experience, I have brought individual body parts to get painted. They always say the same thing.

"The new paint, might not match the old paint, as your old paint may have faded. So it's best to bring the car with you."

However. One shop told me to bring the gas door so they could get as close as match as possible. And my out come was good but still not perfect.
