Good bodyshop in LA area to repaint bumpers
Another newbies at the forums 
I just got an awesome '97 ES300, looks just stunning. On the whole, the factory paintjob is intact but there are few fairly deep marks on bumpers here and there (I'm guessing from gravel/parking). I was wondering what would be the best way to get it back to the original glory? I'm thinking professional re-paint and putting some protective layer on the bumpers afterwards. So here's my question - what's the best independent bodyshops in LA area to go to for this? Thanks for any help guys
BTW, my color is something like "antique sage pearl" - is it possible to find matchinng paint for that?

go to M1 autobody in El Monte and make sure that you tell them that Jeff from illmatic sent you. Ask to speak with David (owner). Let me know how that goes.

Mad props to Kaotiq for prompt response 
I just took a couple pix of the scratches I have. It's getting dark so they are hard to see but they give a general impression what it looks like.

Second one kinda harder to see, but there are some scratches just above and below the foglight There are few more at the air intake and at the back bumper. Actually now, that I look at them again, maybe I shouldn't worry so much and just use a Lexus touch-up to cover them up?
