Default Paint and body Recommendations in SoCal

I am looking for a reasonable shop to do paint, final panel fitting and body work in southern CA. Preferably in west Los Angeles county or Ventura county.
The car has been media blasted primered and all sheet metal hung to the best of our ability. The intention is a semi daily driver not a show car.

Also it was my intention to have the car painted with the front fenders, cowl, hood, trunk and valance off the car and reassemble after the final drivetrain install.
Mistake?? Our first rodeo

Thanks in advance.

In for suggestions as well.

http://www.bestofshowcoachworks.com/ comes Highly recommended by Steve Rupp...


I went by a place that was recommended by the Lincoln Continental guys. Eddies Autobody in Pasadena.

The owner Eddie is a nice guy with a real nice daily driver VW. They had a nice black mustang they were finishing up and I was impressed. It was an $8000 job and pretty clean for the price. Not perfect, but damn good for a driver.

I have also heard good things about a shop called "Unique Twist" in burbank CA. The shop owner was very rude to me and short tempered and told me he wouldn't even touch my car for less than 15k

I left promptly.. Would love some more suggestions.

Thank you for the feedback. You are the third person with not so favorable comments about Unique Twist. Best of Show is in San Marcos which is more in the San Diego area. I will give Brea Autobody a shout and see what he says.

Thanks again.
