I would love to go to Platimum VIP. But too far away.

anything closer to Huntington Beach (live here) or Orange (work here)?

HB should have a ton of good places (Chip Foose?). I don't need custom paint, just good ole jet black and clear coat but just needs to be flawless, durable and last a long time.

Looking for a good detailer in San Deigo who could also do minor paint job and touch up. I have few scratches on the rear bumper and few rock chips on the front. Its a 09 IS250SGM, I would also like to get it completely detailed, this would be her 1st

Thanks!

A good paint job is worth driving to. Spotting a two tone afterwards smacks of

A spell back I had been suggested this shop in Orange. I didn't use him due to cost factors but you could swing by and see:
