Reputable Paint Shop around LA area needed
Hey guys, I'm in need of your help. I require A REPUTABLE, GREAT QUALITY PAINT SHOP in the Los Angeles area (I live in the 818 area code). I had PAC Auto Body in Wilmington repaint my front bumper, where they proceeded to blend out my fenders/hood in order to make the car match better (which it did). Now, six months later, the freaking clear coat is starting to peel right the hell off. One of my fenders has already peeled and I had it repainted by one of my father's well-known friends. They paint matched very well, but my brother's old Integra GS-R had a repaint done from that same shop and about a year later his paint started chipping. It was a spur of the moment decision on my end to have the job done by them (my fault), and now my hood is starting to show signs of clear coat failure. It's only a matter of time before my front bumper and other fender show signs as well. PAC AutoBody did a freaking terrible job with the prepwork too (you can see spots all over the front part of the hood where there were contaminants on the hood before they sprayed). I'm pretty pissed off about this but there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm willing to spend.
Just give me a good freaking shop that does a quality @$$ job!
Thank you much!
EDIT - I have a PPW Z.

Thank you. Yeah I know that sticky thread is right there, but there are too many shops listed. I need ONE and DONE. A damn good shop. Top notch paint matching is not the only thing I'm shopping for, I'M SHOPPING FOR GREAT PREP WORK, GREAT SPRAY WORK, AND THE DAMN CLEAR COAT DOESN'T FAIL.
I'm going to have to repaint the entire front end of the car because of PAC's ridiculous job.

I'll check these guys out. Thanks guys, really appreciate it. Honestly, it's a horrible feeling when you have a sick looking car and your paint is acting up on you 
All I need to do is paint my calipers yellow and I'll be good. Keep it simple, keep it clean, you've got a great looking car.

Makito @ Seven Apple has painted a few things for me, and the work is of good quality. He is located in Torrance, CA., and his number is 310-972-8529.
In the pic below, he painted the bumper and spoiler.

I've been to numerous shops to paint my car.. and honestly, everywhere I read. Everyone says Auto Explosion in Gardena. I went to a shop a friend recommended and I liked it, but to be honest I am going to try out Auto Explosion next. Their name doesn't go around for no reason!
