Ahhhh!
The words paint and cheap should never go together (IMO)...
That's probably because my current daily has not one but three cheap paint coats on it. People come up to me all the time and go, "ok, what was the original color?"
It's kind of funny sometimes, but I would have gone a different route I think.

that was funny.
seriously, if you are going to cheap out on paint, do prep work yourself and primer...that way when they spray it on, you wont have to worry about the shitty prep job that they do.

go to earl
i took mine to earl scheib. i had an old school 84 cutlass.. i did some work to it before i sent it in tho, but yea like this guy said..make sure you do all the body work to it. that way it wont look all messed up. and make sure you tell them what you want tapped or else the idiots will just paint over it. pretty cheap tho but if i was investing it in my car i would want to go all out. check out that page.
