Default Body Shop in NoVA? Hood scratched!!

Well, some a$$wipe decided they needed to let their coat zipper drag across the hood of my car in the parking lot today, some of the scratches are through the paint, so I need a place to touch it up. Anyone know of a shop that does a good job? I think I want to get the front plate removed and holes filled in while I'm at it. It's the Super Black anniversary edition, so the paint should be easy to match.

I'll post pics later.

Here are some pics of the damage.

It's too symmetrical to be intentional I think, but at the same time, it's one hell of an accident to have. I'm sure whoever did it must have known.. It's not like it's a tall car that you might just bump into without realizing.

Thanks for the lead, I'll give them a call today if they are open. I'll still take other shops if anyone has recommendations

Ashburn Collision Center in Sterling. They do all my paint work and have matched my super black exactly. They also do all the work for BMW and Mini. Ask for Rob

don't mean to hi-jack the thread but does anyone know how much it usually cost to get a lip painted?

Hell no on the car wash, this is from a parking lot, I'm sure of that. looks like a coat zipper scare or something to me.

It's through the paint coat, so I dont think buffing would do that much, though it would help clear up the clear coat scares. Thanks for the offer though man, appreciated.
