Question Wife scratched the door. Looking for a good shop

2003 996 turbo about 26k miles, cobalt blue. It's a deep scratch , about two inches long on the middle of passenger door. If I had to guess, it needs paint.

Just had PDR done and it was looking sharp too.

Looking for anything in the MA/NH/RI/CT area that is highly recommended to figure out and fix it. Thanks!

I used Dupointe Customs to fix a scratch and repair my bumper (that I messed up) on my Polar Silver 996TT. The paint match was outstanding and I am extremely pleased!!!! I highly recommend Dave and his shop.

I've had great experience with Mike's Autobidy in Malden.

Did they focus on the scratch or repaint the whole bumper?

I had a scratch on my quarter panel, fairly deep. After he was done, you will be very hard pressed to find it. And my car is a 2004 and Polar Silver. Not an easy match. He did have a guy come over and he had a camera looking device and took reading from all over the car before getting the paint mix.

I thought mine needed "paint", but just needed clearcoat. I did mine myself with sloppily applied clear, then lightly wet sanded with 1,000/3,000 grit paper by hand. Same method could be used with actual paint, then clear...which I also did, but corrected:

If DIY not your thing, I think the body shop in this AMMO NYC vid is in/near CT:
