If you could only bottle it. ;-)

The best source for who does the best paint job is an insurance   
adjuster.  Why?  They know all the shops, the quality, and the cost   
that is charged.  Your own adjuster may steer you to the cheapest,   
but they know the bests ones if they have been in the business for   
awhile.  If you insist on a particular good shop, they usually just   
go along with the program. 

I happen to have a friend of my daughter who is an adjuster and I got   
this info from him.  When my other daughter and later I needed a   
paint job, his advice proved invaluable as the work was done   
perfectly.  This guy, who happens to be Korean advised my wife   
against repainting her hood because of stone chip damage.  He could   
have just done the work and made some money.  So, not only was his   
work the best, but he has integrity as well. 

By the way, the adjuster advised that the dealer shops in this area   
(Washington, DC) are not the best, but among the most expensive. 

I would suggest getting an adjuster from a competing company who has   
no axe to grind.  In fact, ask several, the same firms will keep   
coming up as the best.  Of course, this changes over time as well as   
management changes at the firms.
