Default North Houston Paint Shop

Anyone know a good paint shop in N Houston/ Spring Woodlands area? Management has changed at the one I generally go to and they acted like I was wasting their time so I am really interested in giving them any more money. Just need a little fix on the front fender and the hood. Not looking for a custom paint job or anything, it's just factory paint. I got a couple of estimates from a couple of shops and they are within $100 of each other, both roughly $1000 which seemed fair. Had a couple of other shops say it was too small of a job for them to take in. There are just a gazillion shops up here that do everything from cheap *** work to full custom and since I haven't needed body work I don't know who does what kind of work. I am also very amateur when it comes to paint so was wondering if there is someone you guys trust in the area. Thanks

Sorry for the dusty pics. The car has not been driven too much because of the hot *** weather. Its been sitting in the garage collecting dust. Just haven't been as motivated to clean it up as often since these issues popped up. Ready to get this fixed.

Cool. Does he have a shop or does he do it on the side? I'm good with it either way, just curious.

RF Kustoms behind Smilies on Sawdust. Trust me, he does amazing work.

He did a little work on my car and all the paint work on Nine Ball's vert 1969 camaro. Has lots of classics in there. Odd dude with strange hours but he stuck to the deadlines on mine and Tony's.
