Default Paint shop?

I found a scratch like the size of my hand on my driver's door the other day, went to couple paint shops to get the quote, since its black with pearl, most shops quoted me $250, its just a couple of scratches, anyone owns or knows a shop around OC area can do a better price?

if the scratch isn't deep into the primer then you might want to try scratch remover from autozone.

Jack, if this problem still hasn't been resolved yet, take a couple of pictures of the scratches from direct sunlight and upload them onto here. You may be able to polish them out.

If you really want to know a good paint shop, Angry panda fabrication in huntington beach does really good work. They do custom bodywork and paint also. They fabricated alot of stuff for a redline time attack car.

If you can feel the scratch with your finger nail then it's not coming all the way out. If anyone says they can do it don't let them, they will ruin your paint. Take it to a professional.
