Looking for a good paint shop in Torrance

Can anyone recommend a good shop in Torrance to spray my new side skirts and bumper?

Thanks!

Hey man! I live in torrance too and Ive had my aero lip and havent found a decent shop for a decent price. Youre just looking for the shop so im assuming price is not an issue? Try rons body shop on Cabrillo. They had the lowest quote for my aero lip.

They are right down the street from me. I'll probably stop by there today or tomorrow for a quote.

With paint you will ALWAYS get what you pay for. Basically you are paying the premium for the proper prep work which is the hardest part about paint jobs. If you pay someone more, they will spend more time. If they quote you low, IMO their work will always reflect the cheap price.

Just keep in mind that not all paint job is the same.

I have a shop here in San Pedro i have been going to for years. Good prices and good work. If it must be Torrance, The spot that SoBay BMW uses ( Prestige Too ) or something like that, does a good job but i think they are pricy.

I ended up having it painted by V&A in Hawthorne. They were nice, their price was reasonable, and they matched the color perfectly.
