$12000 paint job?

[Bimmer9938]

I drove 3.5 hours to have Orange Crush do paint work on my H2, cause I wanted it done right. Almost every body shop in my area were painting cars behind blue tarps and not in spray booths and would just mask everything off instead of removing trim. Mark you should open a shop in the Raleigh area too, we need a good shop here.

I agree most people have no clue what goes unto it. As
For not painting in a booth comment.... No car has to be shot in a booth to make it a great job done... A booth makes it easier on the painter, it has no effect on the end results if the person cares and knows what they r doing to begin with. The only thing a booth does is gives you s clean environment and removes the fumes. Some have baking units that help in drying as well. In the end product you can achieve just as good as results without a booth. Booth saves time which means money in this business.

You make a great analogy. Now if the white were deep blue instead my wife could deal with that. She would slap some Broncos logos on it and been ready for a tailgate party.
