You can hold that Econo paint on the car for a long time, but only if you maintain it.
I'd recommend a very good sealant wax (KLASSE) and an AOI Cleaner... try and stay away from chemical/cleaner based wax. <--- That's actually good advice for any paint job to be honest.
I'm not sure if the less expensive jobs such as this one come as a base coat clear coat... just make sure to maintain it.
GL with everything.

One more thing, I mean for the use of wax in the FUTURE... obviously not right away. It's a fresh paint job and all, you need to let it breathe before you coat it!

I've never gotten a car painted at Econo.. I don't know how much "single staged" paint vs "base clear" costs at cheaper paint establishments and unless I misread, I don't think it was mentioned in his text what exactly was done (in detail) in terms of the job.
What I do know is they mix there materials in very large quantities, I was just suggesting a way to keep the paint from reaching even earlier oxidation being it's a 230 dollar job... was just trying to help.

Looks good for the money but man, my materials bill is more than that for a paint job.

I thank u all for the comments, and the kind words.
I got it done at the Econo in Winter Haven, to be honest it has no flaws, my front bumper was very bad when it was black and after the paint u can see some little wrinkles in it but its not their fault its just the way the bumper was.
The 230 included 3 layers of white and the last coat had the clear in it, im very happy with it.
For ILoveHonda my plans are:
Limo tints, drop (coilovers), black rotas or alike with a chrome lip no bigger than 16s and thats it.
once again thanks, if u have any more questions plz ask.
