painting roof

Are there any reputable shops near Irvine who can paint the g35 coupe roof under $300? Not the ones you think are reputable but the ones where lots of g35 people go to.
thank you

@whoisthis, i recommend vinyl wrap. i use to paint, and i painted my g35 roof myself but now i regret it wasn't worth the labor lol & time & masking/prep. and it's not reversable, told myself i wasnt gonna sell my car and ended up getting rid of it couple weeks later.

The roof is pretty much messed up with deep scratches and rusts.
I was quoted $300 from R&J, Mextep, which i think is reasonable.

^ it's a lot of labor suprisingly, 300$ is worth it for it to get done right.

We took two cars to RnJ from irvine thinking that g35 will be dropped off.
He wanted $420 to repair and paint the roof. we took it to different shop and they wanted around $400 also.
The freaking hood paint is now bubbling like the roof. The trunk may bubble in no time..
i think it's the best to just wrap the hood, roof and may be trunk.
How much am i looking to pay for this job?

Even if you wrap the body panels...the problem will still be there, just covered up.
