yeah, just don't go to maaco. unless you want your paint to flake off in a week and have someone who works there drive the hell out of your car.

One thing to look out for anywhere you go is "drip lines". There are a few paint jobs I've seen that look awesome, just jaw-dropping. But we get the car lifted to do exhaust work, and there are vertical lines running from about halfway down the doorpanel that weren't visible when you looked down at it. Prolly already know, but a good thing to look for, 'specially if it's a team import shop, and you have an car they painted physically there to look at.

First, definitely go with the blue color. It's hot.

Pretty much everybody advise is sound. Look at what he's done and make a decision.

ya man, what they sead, be careful for drip lines, at car shows,i have seen some realllllyy nice cars with some really nice paint jobs, air brush, the hole deal, and if you take a closer look, i saw drip lines on bumbers and if you get the right angle, even on the side of the car, now thats sad to spend all the money and get a finised product like that
