I don't want some cheap a$$ job either. I am very OCD about my paint work. Who do you recommend?

Just took my car to NP Collision Center to get my bumper repainted for a scratch. Gave me the most reasonable quote and has five stars on yelp. I get my car back ~ I'll post pics of a before and after for you to decide.

Where is this shop located. Thanks for the recommendation brotha! Ive got some water spotting which I'm going to try and have a detailer get out but if not I'm going to have her painted..

Pasadena. There are plenty of other body shops around here and they are all highly rated but they do really try to cheat you since Pasadena is pretty affluent. One shop tried to charge me 750 to repaint my rear bumper because the white is a "tri coat pearl" - absolutely ridiculous.

The detailer should be able to get the water spots out or they shouldn't be detailing.
