RE: Maaco vs. Scheib & Acer Note

[Brooke Fairbanks <Brooke@minn.net>]

The difference is in the labor.  i.e. the amount of (or lack there of ) 
prep work.  If you don't mind paint on the trim, windows, etc. And don't 
care if they don't fix dents or rust areas properly (or at all).  If you're 
just painting it to sell it to some unsuspecting soul, then better get 
Maaco.

Ya get whatcha pay for...

Can someone explain to me the difference between going to someplace like
maaco and getting a $400 paint job and going to a local body shop and
getting the $2000 job?

Does Maaco use crappy paint? not apply as many coats? no prep work? no
warranty?

Please edumacate me here. I'll need paint someday, was planning on a couple
of years (when I'd managed to save up about $3k)
