Default Body shop recommendations for full respray color change? (Los Angeles)

I was side-swiped on the 405 yesterday, and as a result I'll need to get the driver-side panels and rear bumper replaced/resprayed. While I'm at it, I'm also considering a complete color change.

Any recommendations for a competent and reliable shop? I'm not looking for show car results, just a place that will do a good job for a not-outrageous price.

Call Jack’s auto body and talk to Marc. He is the owner (Jack is there in name only) and a good guy.
He could at least give you an idea of cost.

He owns (and painted) his own, beautiful c6.
Tell him Jeremy with the bronco sent you!

Dougs custom paint in Chatsworth Ca done a number of cars for me. Excellent work, in and out fast no bs upsells, runs a clean biz. Been doing vettes since the 70s that I know of. Last one he did for us. Metallic with pearl, clear a mile deep (this was just an "insurance quality job". HIs high end stuff is unreal.

Or as an alternative, fix the panels and paint them and wrap the car. Likely much less expensive and reversible as well.

I know it's out of your way, but Adrian at Elite in San Diego does great work and is a Corvette guy. My BIL raves about the work Elite has done on his C6 and C7.

Yeah, I'm also considering that route.



Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I am curious, what is an estimate for a quality respray (no color change)?

I have gone to Doug's Custom Paint in Chatsworth and their work is outstanding. They installed an aftermarket hood, aftermarket front bumper and recently, fixed my rear after I got rear ended on the 101. I was happy with all three outcomes.
