Painting Plastic Trim in NYC

Anyone from the NYC area can recommend a body shop that can paint the plastic trim? I am not looking to spend a fortune. If you had it done in NYC please list the place below.

I haven't had it done in NYC, but expect to pay around 800-1000 unless you have some sort of Connection. I was in the market for that a while back, but the painter said it was a really bad idea. He said the paint wouldnt stick really well, and wouldn't last long at all. One chip, and the water get in there, then its all doen hill from there. He highy suggested that I go without it, but its up to you.

*He couldn't put ant kind of guarentee behind it.
