    I have been really impressed with La Mesa Paint and Body. Been there twice. Once to have my OEM Rear Lip Spoiler painted and mounted. Again for a rear bumper when I was involved in a hit and run. He does good, thorough work.

    Chapparone Auto Body. They only painted my front Bumper but they did a great job matching the paint on a uncommon pearl color.

    Amato's is pretty darn expensive.

    I've heard good things about Chapparone as well.

    second the Amato's recommendation. They do AWESOME work and worth the cost. Why skimp out on your paint and body work?? I am bias since I know the owner and manager of the shop.
