Hey I got Earl paint job for 450! and it did not look like a 450 paint job ether! What you need to do is research the earl or macco. The 1st earl's I went to screwed me!! left with a free paint job after complaining to district manager about how I was going to have replace all the body trim on my 17 year old s13 because he painted it and the fact the **** used the wrong color!!!! they paid for the trim and I got a free paint job (my s13 was in four diff color from the jdm conversion). The paint job was not bad, no orange peel, bubbling or fading but the **** painted the whole car blue!!!
The next time I needed a paint job I went to another earl's for paint. Told the guy what happened the last time I had a car painted by them, he told me " all my guys are old school" and they are old school! I pre-tipped the spray man (50's something guy) and the body man 20 bucks each. I took all my lights out F/B, covered my coils, and removed the sides, rears, and front lip and they took her from there.
When I picked up the car, I went from a four color s13:
