Default New paint job / Unbend frame (not serious) - (SOCAL & Long Beach)

Hey, I was wondering if you guys know where I can get a good warranty covered paint job with a reasoanble located around Los Angeles / Long Beach? Also, I have several dents in there. Probably 3 - 5 dents? Not sure, I'll take a photo of how the dents look.

Basically, what I need is a reasonable price for a good paint job, get dents out, and unbend a frame.

As for the frame, it isn't cracked, it isn't in bad shape. It's just alittle off, I need to bend it into place. The bent frame is located at the driver's side fender at the tip of it (where the headlight goes in). The frame bent about 1" up and 1" left. (Rough estimate) I'll try and take a picture of that too. Yeah the bent frame isn't all that serious, it's just when you try and close the hood, it leaves a 1" gap between the grill. The other side of the hood closes just fine no gaps or anything. As for the passenger's side frame it's all fine. The car was basically side swiped.

If you guys know any good places where I can get all this done, please help me out on this

Well, I made my friend call the cerritos shop cus she lives in cerritos and maybe she can have them lower the price. ;]

Whoa! The cerritos one covered it about 3 years, and its 500$ for a whole complete paint job. They told me the dents are about 100$ depending how on serious. If it ain't all that bad they'll do it for lower.

I'm going to stop by sometime this week. :}
