Haha true... But, I might not even have this car for that long and I'd like to feel and see what it'd be like in black.

Default Top Notch Paint Shop?

Looking for a top notch premium shop (no Macco garbage) in the OC area.

I need to get the hood repainted (too many chips). Plus a few spots on other panels have bird poop etched in it, so for that I'd like to get it fixed some how without getting the panels repainted. I understand the Lexus factory paint jobs are top notch and nothing can come close to it so that's why I'd rather not have those panels repainted.

Here is a link to pictures of my car's condition:
bird crapolla

How is this place: Fountain Valley Body Works

Any other recommendations?

+1 for Platinum VIP in Irwindale for overall quality.

if you MUST stay in the OC Beto's autobody in Fullerton is great for non-custom OEM-finish type jobs too.
