Earl Scheib? What's your guys opinion

I mean, sure it has its negative comments, but which company doesnt? I'm planning on getting a new paint job but not really looking to spend 3-4G's on a factory quality paint job.

Also, I got a coupon to get the PRO3 package (2nd best package) and it comes with 6-year warranty against defects (peeling, cracking, etc). This is for only $330!!!!!

What do you guys think?

or

better make sure it doesnt say something like "this warranty does not cover p33ling you NOOB" or some shit like that.

Good luck if it works out, and tell us what happens eh?

yes. i know, god damn, lol, so flaming on me it was just an IDEA. plus, if i get orange peel, it is warrantied for 90 days (worksmanship) and i believe any long-term effects of the paint will be covered in the 6-year warranty.

my friend got his hatch painted at earl scheib... really nice job, he had it buffered somewhere else cuz earl scheib doesnt buffer for you so after awhile you'll get orange peel for sure, but they jsut dint noe what they were doing.

ill let you guys know wutsup when i get a new paint job

hmm.. does the PRO3 package include the masking of all the windows nicely, or is it leaving a jaged line a 1/2" into the glass?
