Bay Area "paint" shop

I'm looking for a recommendation in the SF Bay Area to paint my rear bumper. Someone scratched the clear coat on the bumper, and it's a bit too much for touch up paint. My 07, just broke 48,000, so I'm still not ready to drive around with imperfections in an otherwise flawless finish. I might do the S65/S63 exhaust if the shop is up to the task.

APEX is good, USA touch up is another place you can get a quote at. Yelp them both and see which you like.

Went with USA touch up, they did an incredible job. Dropped it off at 9 am, got it back at 2pm. Thanks for the recommendation.

Nice! Good to hear everything worked out. Check for any cracks or other imperfection later on.

Good to know that you have a few good recommendations of body shops.
BTW, when are we going to look at your 550 exhaust system?

I never needed to go to USA touch up, but know many who had good experiences lol.

Anytime you're in SJ or I can come out north. You should stop by this weekend! Got a lot of cars coming this week with various exhaust mod.
