bay area paint shops + prices

Has anyone had their car painted in or around the Bay Area?

I'm considering having mine repainted or buffed out.

Curious about where is good and what the cost was for your trouble.

About how much time and how much money? I have an FC also. If I did get it repainted I'd get it painted Crystal White (S5 white?)

The paint isn't too bad at all actually, its an 87. Its red and just mildly tired. A friend said it probably would be fine after a buffing. A couple of minor scratches to it as well.

There are pics of it in this thread:

Its the red S4 GXL.

The owner is my good buddy and I get different prices from everyone else. The car's been there for a while, but Im not in a rush. I've had about three FD's there and the quality is always top notch.
