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?

A complete paint job at our shop would cost you 10k +...
Macco, Scheib and others are a good bet if you do not expect too much. I always tell people in your situation to detrim the car your self. Go buy some red scotch brite pads and start scuffing. If the car needs body work get a paintless guy to do any thing minor - they are cheap and quick and capable of all sorts of tricks when disturbing the finish is not an issue. You take it to them like that and your chances are 100 fold better already - you pay for the better paint and primer and you can feasibly get your car done moderately well for 500.00. It is not going to hold a candle to the Glasurit two stage finish on my car, but it cost you 9500.00 less. Basically you should not expect miracles, not for 500.00... |
