$249 Paint job @ The Local Shop...Worth Doing?

archlab said
UPDATE: I took the B/Cuda to my local paint shop (Diamond Paint in Smyrna, GA), got the $299 PolyUrethane 1-Stage job . All I can say is WOW! The car looks like $999,000 bucks!
It misses the $1M mark because my body prep wasn't perfect in about 2 spots. They did have a couple of minor issues (minor masking, overspray onto my nicely detailed suspension, but no biggee, really).

I would say that this is probably one of the best expenditures for any of my cars, ever. If you can do body prep, I would say that this Poly 1-Stage is the way to go.

BTW, I need to figure out how to post photos, so please stand by.

I would like to see it. Posting pictures is as easy as 1,2,3. Just make sure you resize them so they fit properly. If you Microsoft Picture Manager use it to resize them and save them to a file on your PC. Then upload them directly from your file.
