Thanks, Boggtown. Any other info appreciated.

The Newport Beach Porsche dealership has no body shop. Supposedly I can get a recommendation from the service dept on Monday.

Still hoping someone in OC, SD or LA knows the best body shop.

Porsches have a two-part paint system that should be used to repair the car.

I highly recommend that you contact your local PCA rep and ask him/her who they recommend, and if that body shop is familiar with the Porsche painting process to get it right.

I would highly recommend Golden Hammer (310) 479-4311 in LA. I as well as my family have used them for all the Porsches/Ferraris/Mercedes we have ever owned. Their work is great however they are a bit on the pricey side. They are a high line body shop which specializes in "exotic" cars. From my experience, they do not budge in price at all, what they say is what it is or you can take your business else ware. Sounds kind of rude but I’ve never once complained about their work which is why I always go back. If you do give them a call as for Rick or Mike.

P.S. If you would like to see samples of their work you are more than welcome to come check out my car.
