Where's a good Bay Area shop for touching up paint chips?

GF accidently opened the door too wide on TT and hit my other car parked in the garage. Now I have two small paint chips on the edge of the door. Not really noticeable unless I open the door and look closely but the car used to be perfect so I want to get it fixed.

Anyone know a good shop in the Bay Area that can touch up paint chips so that they are totally unnoticeable? TIA!

Took my Turbo to Matthews Carlsen to inquire about a stone chip on R fender a while back . One of the crew there whipped up some black paint, touched it up and gave me the sample to take home. All Gratis !
