Laying paint on a car isn't magic, guys that do it all day long
can lay a decent layer of paint on with no problems. That's 5%
of the complete paint job.
If you do all the prep work and bring them a body ready for
paint you can get a good looking paint job cheaper than you can
buy the paint to do it your self. The fault lies in them not
putting a lot of time in on the prep work. Earl Schibe was the
same deal. We preped a '52 once and had them shoot it for
$29.95. Looked real good.
