Default paint shop recommendations--painting roof black

hey guys
i want to get some quotes from GOOD paint/body shops to paint my roof black. top quality work, top quality paint. i don't want to have to deal with cracks/chips/etc later down the line.
any recommendations?
i'm in the glendale/hollywood area. i'm willing to drive a bit but not down to OC/SD area or too far north either.

thanks all
naeiri

Naeiri take your car to Makito of Seven Apple. A lot of us take our car to him. He's like the Z specialist.
Tell him Kevin referred you and he'll take care of you.

just out of curiosity, why black roof? Are you planning to do the carbon fiber hood and hatch to make the whole top half of the car black?

oh btw,

car looked really clean when you posted pics with your drop.

hell no.. no cf hood or hatch.

i just REALLY like the look of a black roof on a white car with dark tints. i keep seeing this hot hot hot white 650i [i think?] in burbank with sick dark tints and a black roof and it makes me drool every time.

and thanks
