Thank you for your "professional" reponse. They do, do a good job as I know a few people that get there cars done there without a problem.. Its all about who is working there at the time your car is there..

What did racerx55use then do you think?
some IPC industrial crap gloss rattle cans. good prep work and clean spray facility is the key to a nice paint job. its all in the prep work. and it takes a little bit of a good eye to paint, but the prep work does the most.
im the foreman of a paint / welding shop and i still use spray bomb, good paint is too expensive for a cheap car. spray bomb never lasts long and you have to redo it every year
this car was $400 in paint alone, not counting all the time we had in it (about 15 hours and no dent repairs)

heres another paint job, with good paint
good paint will make a ****ty car look great from 6 feet away untill you get up close.
