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?

Earl Scheib was a chemist. He invented synthetic enamel, it dried the same day and it was (relatively) shiny as sprayed without buffing. These were new qualities in paint. Before that, lacquer dried the same day but it was dull until polished and enamel took a few days to dry, but it was shiny.
It's still a shitty paint job, Maaco's better. |
