it seems foolish to me to spend 5000 on a really good paint job on a 3000 dollar car. cause it wont make it sellable for 8000. really new paint doesnt make a car worth that much more so you should prob do it for yourself unless it is a truly valuable collector car, not a daily driver.

i have had many cars painted. some at maaco and some at other places. mostly i have been satisfied considering the price paid. mostly though i have had non metallic cars. the metallic colors are a lot harder to make look decent on a repaint. that is a big reason i dont buy metallics if i can avoid it.
