Good Paint Shop in Los Angeles

Hi everyone:

I am looking for an excellent paint shop in the Los Angeles area. My 993 has a couple spots where the paint is starting to bubble.

Thanks in advance.

Bastoli Auto Body & Paint, close to LAX airport. Good guy, no BS. Plenty of experience with exotics. He loves 993s.
He has worked on my car before. No complaints. He is very meticulous.
Call him and he will answer all your questions.

Hope it helps.

Do your research on Esposito. I have a good friend that took his all original paint ‘88 911 there after an unfortunate parking lot bump and they did a horrible job repairing it the first time and the second attempt to get it right was just as bad.
I’ve used Beverly coach craft and they’ve Done excellent work.

Not in LA, but if someone recommends Class Auto on Cherry Ave. in Long Beach, run, dont walk in the opposite direction.
They are supposedly Porsche certified but I strongly suspect that is a purchased certification...Ted Sanders the Mgr., is a liar as well as a baffoon!

I've been going to Gary at Ultimate Coachworks in Culver City for 10+ years...still have the car he has worked on a few times (wife's MB), and it is holding up beautifully. It is the old Premier Motorsports (recommended by Andrew above) location, and originally established to service the Ferrari owners' other vehicles.
