ON repaint suggestions, toronto

Hi everyone,
my car is red and color is fading, but the color of the trunk,wing, and rest of the car body do not match good, they are three shades of red if looked closely, I think I need to repaint the car. Also, the rear bumper starts to 'paint bubble'.
Anyone in Toronto knows a good paint shop who does a good job at a good price?
thinking to spend 1,500-2,000.
Thanks, let me know.

The bodyshop I go to is Select Auto Collision in Markham... owned by an older family friend named Frank Di Leo. 4 Heritage Road in Markham, behind the Mazda and Kia dealerships
He also owns this place:

not to hurt joes buissnes(i might need him later) but my red na was the same when i got it 3 or more different shades and easy to notice in person. polishing compound for a good 2hrs and a good wax was all she needed.

Thanks everyone for the input. Im not looking to spend too much, I called Classicauto a while ago and got quoted 6,000 for the repaint, that's just too much I think.
But since the colors are off on my car, I do not think a polish would work.
Anyone knows a shop does good job at good price?

Yeah, UFO go with the polish and wax; that's significantly lower than you budget by a margin. Mr.Cools before pictures look exactly like your paint at the moment, a nice detail would do the job : )

the colours on my car were very off you can see it abit from the one pic between the bumper and hood, you cant tell by the pics but the fenders were different and the top had a very noticeable colour transition on the side pillers behined the doors.

i know it might not seem like it will work, i didnt ether. but it does.
