Paint Shop With Best Matching Skills?

I was wondering which paint shop in Orange County area does the best color matching? I have a Lakeshore Slate coupe and am extremely **** about the paint being a flawless match at all angles and i know this is a hard color to get. I'm looking for a shop that can paint a few minor things such as eyelids/grill and touch up a door ding and maybe redo front bumper. I wouldn't mind paying a higher price as long as the work warrants it. Any suggestions, let me know!

Most shops don't do it correctly due to the grounding needed to have the metal flakes lay a certain way. But it will never be as perfect as factory due to the angles of the flakes within the paint. You're going to have to let go of the **** retentiveness by a few degrees if you want to go this route, or you can just have the entire car painted.

Okay, i just want it the same as most as possible. It doesnt have to be a 100% match because i know thats not possible unless i have the stealership do it for a million bucks. I just want as close as possible.
