Default Bay Area paint shop recommendations wanted

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop in the Bay Area that they have had good experience with? Preferably one that has had experience filling in the bumperette holes on the front bumper.

Thanks!

Barsottis in San Rafael. Supposedly owned by Sonnen. They do a lot of Porsches and other high end work.

If you are thinking about doing body styles, you might want to look into this thread before deciding with them.

Yeaman's Auto Body in Palo Alto is very good. Scott Yeaman is a PCA Porsche racer and very competent. Great shop, cheaper than most, too.

Has anyone in the Bay Area actually had the front bumerettes holes filled in by someone and were happy with the results?

Sorry to hear about BodyStyles I took my SC to him for a repaint on my Targa Strap year's ago. And also when someone rear-ended me in my 85 Carrera he did a great job both times. I hear he's going through some tough times. Luckily I haven't had to get any body repair done so haven't needed his services in a longtime.

I was also going to mention Yeaman's Auto Body too. I haven't used him but I hear he does good work and specializes on P-cars.
