LOOKING for good PAINT SHOP in LA

Hi, I have an '05 rx8 Sunlgiht silver. I want to get the roof of the car (and only the roof) painted black/glossy black.

Is anyone from the LA area familiar with a good paint shop that they've gone to and/or recommend? Websites? Possible Price? I want to get a good job done at a reasonable price! Thanks!

I know a person who does paint and body work. he sprayed my full car. He doesn't own a shop however. PM me if you want his contact info.

yes my friend sprayed it himself. he has experience working at a dealership but quit when they won't give him a raise. He has been spraying cars for 3 years since he left.

omg that gold veilside rx8 looks amazing. i havent lived in the LA area for very long but Davis Colision in Chino,CA matched my paint perfectly and even washed, waxed, and vaccumed my car.

you can look up Twins autobody in the valley, Van Nuys
they do really good work, plus the owner has an RX7 FD so you know your car is safe
heres the website.
