Painting help

OK... since my car has arrived on the island about 2 months ago it has been hit twice (nothing more then just scratches) BUT I am very **** about the car... I now have a scratch on the front bumper and I noticed one on the rear bumper as well... All of this had to have happened while it is parked and I am at work...

I am going to have some body parts sent to me from home (hoodscoop, front grill) and I would like to get the sides painted as well... While I am getting this done I would also like to get these scratches taken care of.

Anyone know of someone that does good repair/paint work?

Now I know that this question has been asked before... But I don't have time to sit here and search while at work. SO I thought that I would see if anyone could help me out.

tech one...
had a key mark on my door, took it in on a thurs got it back next day, lookd brand new...and they sprayd my lip kit, color match my 04 black perfectly..
sent many friends there, and so far no complaints....they are not the cheapest, but you pay for what you get....they are very good, fast, reliable, etc. i hold them in high respect rather than GX who tends to play favorites

only problem...finding them, sorry i lost their card, but i think they are in the phone book

Thanks guys... I am going to wait until I get my parts from the mainland before I get this done. Just would like to get it all done at once.

Had a guy I met through a friend paint my trunk it was blue he painted it silver for $125 even painted underneath just no clear on the bottom looks good just needs buffed. And it looks good for the condition the trunk was in I think the blue hid a lot of the imperfections.

Thanks for the help guys. Some the hood scoop and grill are in PA at the moment. I am having them shipped out here. When they get here I have to get them painted (and I would like to get the sides painted as well)

As for the scratches... well, those I just can't stand to look at. I have to swing by and see what it would cost me to get them taken care of.

Oh, and when my parts come... my V1 carbon lip is coming with them. Anyone want to lend me a hand installing it?

Thanks again.
