need rear bumper painted (L.A. area)

I backed into a wall at 2 mph and put some scrapes on the passenger side of my rear bumper. (5:30am on a Sunday morning, still waking up. My stupid mistake.) It's not that big of a deal but I want to get it cleaned up if it's not too expensive. Touch up paint will not work - grooves too deep.

I live in the L.A. area (the "valley") and was hoping to get some recommendations on various paint shops in my area.

Thanks for any info.

I did a similar gig with my X a couple weeks ago... I had 2 small impressions (about 1/8 - 1/4" dia) in the bumber...I masked around them with blue tape, filled them with bondo, did some "micro sanding" and hit the little bondo spots with factory touch up paint. It looks fine, but not great... I'm the only one who sees them or knows they are there! You can't see them from 5 feet but if you look close the touch up paint doesn't cut it. I may elect to get the entire bumper painted - probably a $300 fix for a professional job
