Unhappy paint touch up work advice

Need a reliable and trusted place to do a touch up job on my front bumper... damnable curb crept on me and now I have a few deep paint scratches on my DB Z. Any help would be greatly appreciated...(oh, talked to the dealer, they want almost $500 bucks for the job!! Egads I love my car, but come on!). Thanks!

Does it need to be in SF? I don't know many places in SF but might be able to help you with some place around Fremont.

Fremont is cool (actually anywhere in the bay area isn't a problem)... anything to save a few $$$. Thanks!

Do you have pics? Might make it easier to get quote from the body shop.

Okay, I finally got a pic of the damage. I've been driving it around for a couple of weeks now, but after the first couple of days added a little touch up paint just to hide the deep white lines that were showing (ya I know, crappy job). I need to get this professionally done, so anyone they can recommend would be very helpful... oh, by the way I did call the guy mgl suggested in downtown SF and he said it would be $300... better than $500 I guess. Thanks all!
