If you guys want cheap paint jobs, just go to maaco. At least then when it turns out crappy you have a national chain to blame instead of some super expert painter who doesn't even paint for a living. Honestly, if the guy knew what he was doing, he would have a very lucrative job doing it. Painters and body men get paid serious money if they are worth anything.
