Yeah they're probably just going to use a base coat then, which has no UV protection which equals bye bye paint.

It take the better part of a day to just prep a car properly. Sanding is very important and should be done with care and taping is more important. Plus removing **** that is in the way that isn't tape able. The jambs also need to be taped properly so that you don't get mass over spray in there. 400 including prep is cheap as **** as said before good paint alone cost 500 to 800 now a days. It would cost about 400 for duplicolor single stage to do the whole car. Nason is a little cheaper but still good.

its only 400 so im not really expecting that great of a job but right now its like 5 colors and stripped and its my daily driver and a 2.3 non turbo. if it were my 5.slow i wouldnt take it to maaco ever but i figure it will look good enough for right now so i can drive it around until i can afford an ok paint job
