Who Does The Best Refinishing/custom paint Work?

I'm thinking of having my Spector redone in it's original black or maybe something special in the future. Who in y'alls opinion does this work best secondhand? Price isn't as much a concern as quality as I want it done right if/when I have it done.

Sims Custom Shop looks to do great work, but be prepared to spend $300-$500 on a typical paintjob.

Another Spector on here was repainted by Zion Guitars. Looks nice from the pics.

Basically I'm either going to refin it all in original black and keep the gold hardware, or something like Gibson silverburst and put some chrome or black HW on it. I'll be keeping this NS2 for life and not totally worried about resale, so want something a little more attractive and I've loved that finish since I was in my early teens and hadn't even picked up the instrument yet! But I'll contact the people mentioned and if I go forward will be sure to report back.
