My boss wants to bring his DD Miata to Earl Scheib for paint. Years ago I saw a 914 painted there. The paint was coming off in sheets and you could see distinct sanding swirls under remaining paint. But, they're still in business - maybe they've improved. Anyone with experiences out there?

No personal experience but, I'm sure you get what you pay for.
If you took a fully stripped and prepped car in there, it may come out OK. But if its fully prepped, you could paint it in your driveway and get good results. Its a question of economics, how much better does your(his) car have to look for you(him) to be happy about it? If it looks like total Ass now, maybe a quick Earl Scheib job would make him happy enough. If its got door dings, rust, body issues. Chances are it will still have door dings, rust, and body issues. They will just all have fresh paint on them. Basically, how good is good enough? |
