Default Powdercoating in CT?

Hey guys I just bought myself an 01 WS6. I'm looking to get a couple things powdercoated mainly brakes and some under the hood stuff. Anyone know of a good shop in CT? Im in Fairfield County 15 minutes from Bridgeport and about 20 from New Haven. Any imput would be lovely. Thanks in advance.

ive used performance powder coating in new haven before, but like just about any shop in CT its going to be on the expensive end. im not sure if he is still doing it but look up SilverGhost on here. its worth it to send the stuff out ive found, cheaper rates even with shipping and you dont have to pick it up. just a thought

Cam thankyou.

And I know of Silverghost. I figured it would be cheaper to go somewhere local rather than sending it out. Maybe not.

Silver are you the one that does the coating for Burkhart? The front end I ordered is getting done before it gets shipped... wondering if they're using you or someone else to do it.

Nope, not me. Burkhart is pretty far from me, they are probably using someone near them.
