Cool Orange County, CA paint | $1500-2000 to spend

Anyone have some recommendations for an honest place to paint? I have about $1500-2000 to spend. I don't need a 10/10 paint job, removing moldings, trim, painting door jambs, etc. I just want to clean some of the rough spots up and have a nice, uniform color all around. I'm sick of looking at all the paint chips, etc. Paint will be same color as is now (silver stone metallic). Closer to Huntington Beach, the better.

Let me know

also you need to pay cash when car is finished to get good pricing.

Mike, I have a friend that teaches autobody and LB city college and has done some work for me in the past. If you do the prep (light and moulding removal etc) I can see what he would charge... let me know if you are interested.

Seven Apple is listed as being on Del Amo Blvd in Torrance at the same address as ProTech AutoBody. Not sure what's up with that?
