i'm a testimony for Earl Sheib's....although the name has a bad reputation, i gotta say, they did a awesome job on mine. but then a again, because i had so many dinks and dents, it came out to $1,110. i believe the paint job was $500-600, and every dent and everything else just added up. but i'm happy with it...i know a lot of people wouldn't go there, but i really didn't feel like spending a lot of money on my paint job.

Wow that looks nice, there is a Earl right by my house, I was looking around getting some quotes for how much a paint to my front bumper would cost cause I recently ordered TRACER front bumper they said 163 which seemed kinda expensive, I think I will just wait till I get fenders and skirts maybe and go with a full paint. Your paint looks really nice how long ago was it painted?

my friends told me not to go to MAACO. I personally see an angry customer @ Maaco. I also saw a BLUE chrysler plymouth voyager, the paint looks very cheap, 400 bucks paint job!
