Corvette was keyed... Shop reccomendations?

Came out to go on break tonight and discovered a deep knife/razor scratch in my driver fender and door.... It seems like whoever did it only damaged these panels, though there is a scratch on my hood by the 427 emblem that I hadn't noticed previously as well.

Ideally I'd do the work myself, but currently I'm without a place to do sidework... So it looks like I'm going through my insurance and I'll have to find a shop I trust to do the work for me. I have 2 or 3 places I trust to do the work, but I'm open to suggestions as to where I should take the car.

I'm super **** retentive when it comes to paintwork, as I do it for a living... So I'm looking for PERFECT results, or I'll see any imperfections every time I look at the car (it's a curse lol)

Would never send any work to Abe's shop, that guy is very shady and anyone who knows the car scene in NOVA knows what I am talking about.

Have you talked to the folks at Euro Pros in Gaithersburg? They have a great reputation and work on some very high end stuff.
