Maaco vs Mexico: The Hunt for Affordable Paint & Body

I helped a friend restore a rough 65 Impala SS 396. He bought PPG BC and CC paint. I sprayed the door jams, backs of doors, back of hood and back of decklid. Then I helped him assemble the car. Right before I was ready to paint it, his wife said something that pissed me off so bad that I just left. I never really liked her. She had a mouth on her, and she had no filter on what she said. She totally tore into me for how long it had taken, and basically called me a slacker, and suggested that I needed to start coming over more often. I TOLD her that it would take several years. Anyway, I told them that they would have to find someone else to paint the car; I was done. He took the paint to the local Maaco, and they painted it for him for a very reasonable price. It came out real nice. I guess you gotta figure that the guy who spends all day every day spraying cars will probably get good at it.
PLUS, over the years, I have flipped several cars. I had Maaco paint several of them after I did the prep. They always came out OK.
