people trying to find good deals on body and paint work will get exactly what is coming to them - a crap job for less money.
paint and body is a freakin art form, it takes a LOT of work to get it flawless. a lot of work costs a lot of money. if you arent a body man, dont try to second guess the man hours associated with body repair. we have spent weeks in the garage doing final prep work on a car prior to paint. after body repair was complete. because there is no replacement for a properly prepped surface. if you want waves in your body, cracking and peeling paint, surface contaminants under the clear, and poorly matched color, sure, find your discount place. if you want someone who is going to make sure when you get it back you cant tell you ever took it to a body shop (even years later), spend the money to have it done right.
