Exclamation Good Paint Shop

I know there are some of you out there that know good paint shops and I need your guys help. I am going to be needed a a whole car, minus the engine bay. I dont want a sh*tty job done where there is overspray where the windshield wipers are or in the door jam or in the creases. I want a good job done, including the door jams and under the hatch. I just want a good job done.

Just for some more 411, its going to be on a Supra, so if you guys know a place or can get a quote for me, that would be the bomb diggity.

Thanks in advance,
Chase

***Edited due to wrong 411***

Im a huge moron and didnt mean that I was looking to spend $500, then after I read it I decided I better not even put it in there as it might confuse peoples like it confused me and I wrote the damn thing. Anyways, yeah I know that the only job for $500 is shiet and I am looking for a nice job. Im expecting anything from $2500-$4000.

These guys will paint the car like factory. I have had to use them more than my fair share.
repainted back of the lexus rx330 metallic blue after garage door sxrewed it up.
repainted my car several times. when i got stereo stolen, 2 car accidents.

They specialize in mostly high price, high performance cars.
You will see by the cars there how good job they do. They do ferrari's, porsches all models, BMW's, They have a wide variety of crashed m3's everyday
Anyways as with the best in life its going to cost you alot get your car painted by them but it will be as good as the facory.
Also they do not do custom PAINT. They do factory color paint only from least what i gather.
so what tell them paint your car cadillac white etc etc
anyways give them a call see what they can do.
It ran me 713 dallors to get the back of the lexus repainted just give ya a clue on prices-aka metallic paint.

They have another store probally equal quality in Reseda.

I dont like the Caddy White Pearl just becuase theres too much pearl and is too "yellow" for my taste. Im probably going to go with the Lexus RX330 Diamond White Pearl.
