Body shop recommendation to paint my 84 Trans Am

Looking for recommendations in LA. A friend took his car to Manuel's Body Shop in Culver City many years ago, but I just heard that it burned down a few weeks ago.

Do you know what kind of paint he used? Is it the same EPA water based crap they have to use in So. Cal? Also, how long did it take?

I’m seriously considering this, but I’m worried that if I have any problems and or issues, I’ll be SOL. From what I’ve read, Mexico is a lot more dangerous than it was 20-30 years ago.
