Paint shop recomendation

I am new to the Imperial valley area in socal. I am looking for a quality paint shop in the CHino, Ontario, Chino hills area. I have some minor touch up work. Stone chips and a curb rash on the front. I am looking for perfection nothing less. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

Depending on how much damage is present, have you looked into Dr. Colorchip? I have used it before and it is a great product. If you don't get any suggestions or the cost is too pricey, take a look at it on YouTube. It works great.

Maybe I didn't use that product correctly, but I thought that product was horrible.

I agree there is a learning curve. I had a large section of my front bumper that was littered by rock from road constriction, creating at least 50+ chips in the paint.

The first half dozen I did looked horrible but I persisted and got better as I pushed on. I also know results with products like this can be subjective. I wish I kept the before after pics I had. I would say it was about 85% unrecognizable.

Thanks for the info but I am looking for perfection. I am going to collect this car.

You would probably be better off posting this in the regional sub forum.

I think I found a good place.
Has anyone ever used inland empire in riverside. Looks like they do custom work and lots of 5 star reviews.
