Default Any North Carolina painter rec's?

Looking for someone in the Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville area who you all may recommend. I've had plenty of recommendations not pan out.
I have previously used a guy in Georgia who does super at matching Harley Big Blue Pearl but a 7 hour round-trip drive is a little out of the question and I'd like to avoid shipping him parts and incure extra costs.
Thanks in advance.

The painter I have used is Zack Mathews in Wake Forest. He has a facebook page with some of his work but it does not do justice for how it really looks in person.

The place I would recommend is in Kernersville, called exotics inc. They paint, powder coat, and can do complete builds. Only about an hour and 1/2 from you. Call and talk to Daryl or George.

+1 on Zach Matthews (ZMCC). He is starting my Bagger project right now.
