What's Covered
All materials and workmanship are warrantied for 90 full days. Paint is warrantied against fading or loss of gloss, peeling, chalking, cracking and wrinkling for 1, 3 or 6 full years (depending on the paint job you choose).

What's Not Covered
Defects caused by rust, collision, dings, scratches, hail, acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap, unreasonable use or care of the vehicle, or similar causes.

uh... no comment.

ok ill comment. a warranty means something .. especially with paint.. cheap paint jobs are NOT suppose to last long. they have a life expectancy.. while factory jobs are of MUCH better quality. A shop with a good record.. and warranty.. and quality work will produce a MUCH better paint job than any 1 day auto body junk. And the appearance is night and day. cheap jobs look "cheap".

im not one to cut corners.. not to mention something like paint. h:

$300 is gonna get you one seriously ghetto paint job. Sorry, but there is no way around it. If you want to do it, sure...but there's no point in trying to convince other people that it's a good idea and you'll get a quality job.

Shit $300 for a kit?

I had my aftermarket mirrors quoted at $100 per mirror. This was a quote from three different shops, each quote varied about $15, but in the end the middle quote from all three was about $100 per mirror.

$300 won't buy you shit when it comes to quality paint. You're better riding around on primer until you can afford to get a quality job.

correct. One is better of with OEM paint (as shitty as it may be) and wait until they can afford GOOD paint.. because if you get a crap paint job.. and 2 years later u want to repaint the car with quality paint.. its gonna cost a lot more in the end... you cant paint over shitty paint.

dont skip on the paint. There is no way to get a $200 paint job that will even remotely look decent. I have painted cars and add in 20 hours just to prep the car, and any decent paint will cost you $500 or so just for the paint, clear, thinner etc. Not to mention all of the other things. Basically with a paint job you get what you pay for and no more!
