Best paint touch up in South Bay?
So I scraped my rear bumper on my '17 WRB tonight ( ) and took off some paint. Thankfully it doesn't look like there's any structural damage or anything, just paint, but I was wondering if someone knows a good place to get the paint fixed?

I did the exact same thing the first month I had my '16 BRZ. Took it to Da-Les auto body in sunnyvale. They charged about $650 to take the bumper off, sand it down, and repaint & got me their insurance rate, even though I didn't go through insurance. They did a great job and color matched Pure Red perfectly. A couple other places I went wanted $900-1000.

Added some pictures :'(
Looks like it'll require doing the whole bumper. *sigh*

You can also try United Collision Center.

So after getting some quotes and comparing reviews, it looks like I'm going with Marty's Chop Shop in Campbell. They have stellar reviews as well as the best quote I received. Plus, they're family owned and run, which I like from an ethical standpoint.
United Collision Center looks like they do great work, but their quote was pretty high. The dealership recommended Anderson Behel, but they were ridiculous. Wouldn't give me a ballpark estimate over the phone or via email with pictures. They insisted I come in to get the estimate in person, which is fine, except... They require you to book an appointment to get the estimate and the earliest they had was 3 weeks out. I told them thanks, but no thanks. Should have the work done by the end of the week, will post the completion pics once it's all done. Really hoping it turns out good.
