Paint shop recommendation needed!

Need to paint two plastic body parts - side skirt and front fender rear vent panel (OEM p/ns 96051FG040NN and 91112FG120NN). Got the parts (new from the dealer). Just looking for a place that can paint them in Satin White Perl (tri-coat, OEM paint code 37J) and do a decent job with color matching to the same body panels that I can bring together with new parts. Old panels got some damage and need to be replaced. No showroom quality is needed as car's paint is not in perfect shape overall. But it should be decent quality for the right price. Yes, I know that I can buy a tri-coat rattle can kit but I'd rather not do it myself.

Will appreciate your recommendations! Santa Clara County preferred but not limited to.

I've brought my wingless trunk for a repaint, and had some insurance work done at (wife's cars), Apex Auto Body in San Jose (Phelan Ave). good work and fair prices.

Try Golden West body shop at Sunnyvale . bring your parts and ask for Joe (owner). they did a good job welding the holes and color match my trunk,rocker panel and lip

Went with my buddy to pick up his car from Anderson Behel and they did an excellent job.

Anderson Behel Body Shop - The Premier Santa Clara Auto Body Shop


I've had both of my STI scoops done at Da-Les Autobody in Sunnyvale. Give them your gas door and the part and they'll do it.

Thank you, guys! I wonder how bad the color match will be without blending as most likely the car won't be present in the shop. Yeah, I was planning to bring old panels (side skirt and rear vent).
