    ^those cons are very negative, most body shops will wetsand and buff afterwords, and taping off is an art, it has to be perfect. well in order for me the paint anyways. I hate overspray/bad tape line.

    and for the wetsand and buff i'm sure they took that part out to keep the paint job cheaper. I would rather pay the extra money to have it wetsanded and buffed, the paint job comes out so much cleaner and body lines come out sharper.

    true true but u must keep in mind ppl that dont want to pay for a good job want get 1 IF u want a decent job that is going to last under weather conditions and sun 24/7 u need to spend a little more $ and get it done right other wise u will be putting your car back in the shop for another paint job1-3 yr's later and overall u will loose money considering if u had it done right the 1st time u would be good for 5-8 yr's depending on how good u keep your car up
    I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
    I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.
