Custom paint job for interior parts in LA

Anyone know of a good place in LA to take some interior parts and trim for a quality custom job? Specifically, I'm looking to paint some items gloss black such as the upper center console and defroster panel. I will need someone who can take off the texture on these parts from the stock graphite grey coloring prior to painting them. Also, has anyone tried to paint side vents without including the grill in the middle? In other words, just the housing. Any suggestions and pix would be greatly appreciated.

Little Johns in Torrance did a few parts on my car (Bumperettes, center console, gauge surround, roll hoops) in Arctive Silver, they did a VERY nice job. They effectively removed all texture and the clear coat was amazing. I highly recommend them.
