Every paint thread that has came up has ended up with the same response.. You get what you pay for. You also forgot to clarify how much you're willing to spend, etc.. If you're looking for 300 bucks or less, good luck on anything quality.

Theres a REASON why quality paint jobs are NOT cheap. If you want a CHEAP paint job, go to Maaco, do all the prep work, and have some crappy paint put on your car that going to chip and need to be redone a year and a half later. Hell, just the material alone for a good paint job (paint, hardner, reducer, primer, etc) can easily run $500. That not including the hours of prep and painting. Tell us your price range, but generally, quality and cheap paint jobs are never one in the same.
