Body work and prep are what make a high quality lasting paint job. The majority of what happens after prep can be fixed with some 1000 grit and a wheel. That being said, Maaco quoted you $50 for the prep - I use more than $50 worth of sand paper when prepping a car...
+1,.
not to mention how much the tape and paper, and lacquer thinner, tack rags,.
these are all in the prep job, and very costly per job.
again, you get what you pay for,.
and maaco is know for painting EVERYTHING!!!! i.e. the window seals, since they dont remove them, and tires and headlights because of crappy prep,. they used to be know as earl shive, or however you spell it, same quality.
as far as oldschool's work, look at his signature on his posts,.
