Looking for Paint/Body shop in OC

Looking to see if anyone can recommend a good body shop.

I'm looking at having 3 things done:

1. Paint/repair small dent M235iR trunk
2. Fill license plate holes
3. Possibly get and paint gts hood

If you've had any good experiences with places please feel free to let me know, there are so many of them out there.

Spectrum Collision inn Irvine did a great job on my car when multiple panels were damages by an inattentive Prius driver.

Oh nice! They did my rear bumper as well when someone tapped it, did a nice job. I wasn't sure if they did custom work, I guess it doesn't hurt to call.

Spectrum had my X7 for over four months (for a two week job) and would not return calls and frequently lied when confronted. Worst body shop experience. I had to get the state involved to get my car back.

Exactly how I felt lol, its the same work they do on a daily basis. I guess they can't charge walk-ins enough.
