My boss wants to bring his DD Miata to Earl Scheib for paint. Years ago I saw a 914 painted there. The paint was coming off in sheets and you could see distinct sanding swirls under remaining paint. But, they're still in business - maybe they've improved. Anyone with experiences out there?

I have had two cars painted at Macco. I did all of the prep work, so any flaws where mine to begin with. Both came out really good for the price. If you want a 10x10 car ( 10mph at 10 feet) this is the cheapest way to go. I don't see any issue with painting a race car at Macco. If you want to show the car. Different story. Time to get out the wallet and pay some $$$$$. I have seen where the factory paint on Chevy's comes off in big sheets. I pealed off the original paint off of one. Took me about 45 minutes to strip the car, skuff the original paint and get ready to put on Primer. 2 hours later, I had the car at Macco getting paint. Pretty funny.
