ON Minor Paint repair

I have some minor paint damage on my front bumper from someone's awesome parking skills that I need to get repaired. It is about the size of a CD and is scuffed right through the paint in a couple spots; no cracks or damage to the bumper though. Does anyone know of any good places around Oakville ? I have also heard that there is a good mobile repair service as well; but can't remember what they were called.
Thanks.

Try Fine Details, in Burlington. I believe they have a mobile service.

I ended up using www.paintforce.net - Kevin did an excellent job and you couldn't even tell there was any damage there before. I Also passed the end of lease inspection with no problems.

Good to hear, alot of mobile places are pretty shady.

But as a side note - does anyone know how these places are actually LEGALLY operated? I have to pay for a booth certification and all kinds enviromental considerations, and these guys just get to spray in your driveway?

Not sure about the legality of it, probably some loop hole in the law. It sure came in handy though with the timeframe I had to work with.

When your address is a PO box, where are they going to send the enforcement officers?

What's your weekend look like Joe? It's getting onto protege fixing time again.

Joe, maybe it's because you paint a whole car whereas they just do touch up work.

I'll be here saturday from 8 till about 2-3pm. Sunday I'll be around all day at the house. Doing some final touches on the car, you know - engine install, minor details

Chris, good point but yeah I don't know. FWIW though, when they flow test my paint booth and give blood tests to my painter(s) they don't care about how much I use, its about whether or not you use the paint at all. Just one of those thigns that bugs me....
