Paint Shop recommendation for So. Cal?

I'm looking for a top-quality paint and body shop in So. Cal (pref. N LA or S Ventura County area). They need to be 'insurance savvy' as well...

The turbo needs some touch-up in the front but the other reason is the Land Cruiser which got hit with a can of yellow paint and the wifey, will need to be resprayed, completely. When attempting to clean the paint she used a scotch-brite at the recommendation of the guy at the home-improvement warehouse she pulled into...

Regardless (she feels TERRIBLE) there are polka-dotted areas when the clear-coat is gone all over the vehicle. Insurance says is a comprehensive claim (not at fault) but now I have to get a whole vehicle re-painted. Windows and trim removed, masked, painted...

Where in the above-mentioned area would you take your p-car (or Toyota Land Cruiser)?

Thanks!

How about Kevin, the guy who painted Jack Olsen's car. I forget the name of his shop, but he's in Van Nuys. His work looked gorgeous!

I'd talk to Kevin. If he's not the right shop for the job, he can probably direct you to who is.
