I think he said there was some body work included. If I were to use MAACO or
some other cheepy company for paint, I would prep the entire car and do all
the body work first. Remove everything removeable, mask the rest, and tell
them exactly where to shoot the paint, including door jams. The painters at
those shops just lay down paint all day long, so they must have the feel for
it. It's the cost saving stuff you have to watch.
