I have some ugly paint chips on my hood mostly but otherwise all over the car anyone know a place that could do it for cheap and actually have it look decent?

regardless of who does it, its gonna look fairly blotchy i've done a bunch but am far from perfect with them. people can go crazy with it and i've seen some people touch up the chips then wetsand it smooth then polish it and it comes out looking like it was never there.

This is for anyone in the calgary area looking to get paint work done. DO NOT go to Superior Paint & Body Services. I took my car there because my insurance company deals with them so I thought that was some assurance. When I got my front bumper back from paint it had a chip in it so I called them thinking people make mistakes doing paint, not a big deal and a quick fix. So the second time back at thier shop and they just threw some touch up paint to cover it up. I talk to their manager who tells me its a rock chip (despite not being there when i first dropped it off). I tell him it happened while at his shop, he belittles my GF who is the coowner of the car basically saying she doesnt know what she's talking about. Then basically tells me that rock chips are bound to happen and that I should just deal with it and he will do me a favor of repainting once only. Needless to say I'm pretty pissed. I'm trying to tell my insurance company to stop dealing with these crooks. Thought I would save people the hassle and inform people to avoid this half rate shop...
