Paint Scratch/Chip Repair

I'm still debating all the available mail order kits for paint repair, but was wondering if anyone in the NY area knew of a great body shop that could save me the hassle, and give me like new results, for a reasonable price and turnaround time.

Manhattan area, preferred.

Also, if anyone has a strong opinion for the some of the mail order kits, please pass on your experiences. I've historically used the ole factory provided paint brushes provided by MB dealers, but the application method is so far from ideal, i won't go that route again.

If the scratch catches your nail then you are screwed..If it's a solid color (black/white/red) you might be able to touch it up but with metallic colors you would have to sand the damage area/color the scratch and clear coat the entire panel,ask me how i know.
For the records,i just passed on a very rare silver car with 2 scratches (1"-2")on the rear q-panel that no body shop in NY will touch it besides doing the entire panel.
LMK if you do find some one that could sand/color and repair the damage..
