The better prepped you take the car to them the better a job you'll get. At least pull as much (lights, mirrors, trim, etc.) as you can and you'll get decent work. They spray more paint than anyone and (unless you get a guy who's working his first day) they lay down a nice job.

PREP, PREP, PREP!!!!

Don't know what paint they use here in Raleigh, it's held up. I've got to take it back to them and have them paint the hood since I rolled a forest rat up over the hood on that Metro last year. I've been hitting a lot of deer.
