Did you try Dave's Auto Body on Canoga in Chatsworth? They do awesome work. I unfortunately had to take a couple of my old cars there before I got my EVO to get some body work done and was VERY satisfied with the job.

I think he prefers insurance claims, but he does an amazing job. His son went to high school with me and had an awesome Shelby Mustang clone, and the company truck was painted like 6 colors absolutely sparkling!

edit: Sako at Caliber is also a very popular name in the valley area. I've never met the guy but I hear his name from different tuner people all the time.

Also, I have an auto paint sprayer, but the paint, clearcoat and additives alone cost like $70. That's why small piece jobs seem expensive, because they still have to mix the paint, mask the body (if your grill is already installed), prep the surface, and set up and clean the equipment.
