Looks like a low gloss paint job. Not good enough for me. if im goig to spend 10+ hours on fixing dents. and body work, im not going to finnish it off with 50.00 paint.

The advantage of the base and clear is obvious.
It looks much better, glossy. reflective. etc..

i dont think thats a cheap paint job. maybe he paid 100 bucks for it but thats only cause he works at a body shop. i think you mean thats a damn good paint job and your lucky you got the hook ups to get one like that.

macco is a cheap paint job
