Does anyone have any experiences with this place? Also, do any of you have any pix of how their paint jobs look like. They seem like a reputable place, and seem quite affordable.

 

when it comes to paint, you get what you pay for.

their paint may be okay, thought their prep may leave a lot to be desired.

 

it's depends..your best chance with cheap paint job is to prep it yourself, sand it and do all the preping at home.
you know, tape up all the grille thingie and take out the bumper and headlights to make it foolproof.

Exactly, dont cheap out on key stuff like this. I woudl rather spedn $1,500-2k on a paintjob and get good quality then $300 and my car looks like **** in 2-3 months. Do it right or don't do it at all.

I have personally seen an Earl Scheib Paint job and it was absolutely disgusting. The paint doesn't shine for ****, they sprayed on a bunch of the rubber, the paint is rough to the touch, there was a bubble on the trunk, and I don't think they even took their time prepping the car at all. If you looked at the car almost parallel to it, on a normal paint job you should see the car shine (if its clean of course). On the Earl Scheib painted car it was incredibly dull, you can't even see a reflection in the paint... Earl Scheib = from me.

maybe it was becaue the person chose the stage 1 paint which is cheapest? I mean, the pearl package offers clear coat on top of the layers of paint.

 

Search. This was a topic about a week ago and it contains pics.

I did, and I'm not satisfied with two threads that covered it.

 

i would pay more first rather then get a cheap paint job and having to redo it later

 

top of the line package!?! i had that and it sucks big time. thanks to insurance money after my accident i finally got rid of my earl scheib paint and got a decent job from a reputable shop.

 

I got the top of line , i dont remember wat its called but the most expensive one for my girls ef and YUP that **** SUCKS

hmm which word doesnt belong? oh there it is, quality

 

They're in the same class as Maaco. I think I've said enough.

 

If you car is in really bad condtion (mismatched colors and **** bad) sure take it to earl for a quick spray job. But if all it is, is that your paint isn't as shiny or lack luster you might be better off leaving it alone until you can get a real paint job.

 

mine turned out awsome. i paid 300$ for a crx complete job.
you cant compare a 3,000$ to it at all but if you dont give a **** like me
it's worth the money. i beat the **** out of my car there for i cant see spending
alot of money on a paint job.

 

They spray it with single stage ("integrated clear coat") and don't wetsand...so they use cheap paint and it'll look like crap and not really shine.

 

oh i for got here is a pic of the pig.

the crx is a beater.
my other car was done right and was very expensive, but if some one is going for "show "then macco or earls is not the way to go. i know one day the rex will be hitting the wall.i gotta say make sure you you do all of your preping befor hand.
good thing i didnt have my cat back on they sprayed over my stock muffler.
