Default Portland paint shop recommendation needed

I was removing some very yellowed paint protection film of unknown age and it ended up pulling the paint from my fender

Where should I get this fixed?

Oh geez! Well could be worse of course. I previously had a good experience with artistic auto body in Tigard. Have you looked for secondhand fenders on CL or eBay also? Might be cheaper.

After getting crunched sitting at a red light a few years ago, went to him for the repairs. Front and back end. When I picked it up I looked it over and asked about how he paint matches, because I could clearly see where the new paint started. He threw a fit and blew up, then yelled about how people go online and trash him about things but don’t give him a chance to make things right. After all of that mess, I just took the keys and left. Over the course of the next few wash/waxes, I noticed paint bubbled up around the front bumper cutouts, several clips were not installed, and the original (broken) license plate bracket was used. I considered calling him back and giving him that chance, but after 4 months, I just let it ride. Didn’t feel like battling him over anything after his blow up on me, honestly. Judging by the work I saw on the cars in his shop, I didn’t feel like the same attention was paid to my S2k as compared to the vettes and other classic cars. I’d give his shop a C- for the detail work done. But hey, maybe I’m just a picky Ahole. I got along great with him, really...until I just asked a question. And I wasn’t asking it in a snotty way, either.

About 10 months ago a big knobby tired pickup came into the side of the S when my wife was driving it to work on I-5. Took it to Artistic in Wilsonville. They did a great job- couldn’t tell at all where the paintwork began or ended. I’d go back there again.
