Default Paint scratch repair, Need recommendation

Hi all,

I have a few scratches on the paint on my car (it's only a few months old!)

They don't go to the metal underneath. They are pretty shallow. Can anyone recommand a good place to get this fixed in Los Angeles? I have a flint mica paint job.

I don't want to take it to Longo Lexus collision since I'm pretty sure they will charge me an arm and two legs.

Thanks!

- Tony

Is it to the paint or just the clear. The depth makes a huge difference. Could be as simple as some color sanding/buffing to touch up paint/blob removal. A body shop normally would rather paint. Try some a few of those dent removal places as they do excellent scratch repair as well.
