Default On the topic of painting

See about 2 weeks ago I low-sided when I was hitting some canyons in my area with a buddy. I've got a new right fairing for my '01 F4i, but I need to paint it to match my existing custom silver. So 2 questions:

-Anyone know of someone good but reasonable in the Santa Barbara area? I think I might just re-paint the whole bike with a slightly different silver.
-How should I buff out the minor scratches on my Two-Brothers exhaust? Any OTC stuff?

Thanks a bunch!!!

For aluminum I use a buffing wheel with the white compound. Stainless steel I use the black compound and then the white to polish. Trying to do it by hand is a real pain -- a buffer (any buffer) will make the job much easier. Oh, aluminum is super messy -- be prepared to have black hands, face ... hell, anything that's exposed [8D]
