hello, does anyone know if earl schieb's pearl paint package is decent, its the best one and its $600? Also if anyone has used earl schieb, if they paint body cars with body kits? And if anyone knows any other custom paint shops in saint louis missouri?

Thanks

i got that package, they did a good job on my car, i got the Royal Blue Metallic color, i got hooked up and got the Pro 3 job for only $350, and it comes with a 6 year warranty

for the bodykit question... i think your better off going someplace else, like a professional paint place, but i wouldn't see why they wouldn't paint a bodykit

actually the maaco near me is really good. pretty much everyone who knows about cars around here takes their painting work there: apparantly the guy who runs it now used to have his own shop and decided to do maaco instead for finantial reasons. before you decide against an entire company, maybe you should check out what kind of work they do first?

You have to understand there technique. FOr the most part they do a good job with the timeframe they have working on your car. All I recommend is you doing the prep job yourself. That will save you in the long run. All Macco and quick places do is spray it with a chemical. It might give it some sort of grip at a microsopic level but its no match to a real prep job.
