so i dropped my car off at earl scheib yesterday and i'm getting their pearl paintjob which is the best one they have because they had a sale going on so it's only costing me 400 instead of 600. i'm curious to see how it turns out so i'm gonna buy one of those disposable digital cams and take pics for any of you guys who are considering getting a cheap paintjob...i'll be getting it back in 4-5 days so the pics will be up in a week or so

Schieb sucks. Good luck with the paint. Hopefully you won't see so much orange peeling and drips like my other buddies.

if you see a lot of orange peel I recommend you wet sand your paint, it should take out the orange peel. You should practice on another vehicle though so you dont mess yours up.

Did you prep it yourself? Dent filling and masking? I gather that is the only way to get it done properly.Disposable digital camera???
