No matter how good the job is there will always be someone who will find flaws or thinks they can do better. But the plain and simple fact is that it all boils down to dollars and cents. Personally I'd rather a "less than perfect" paintjob so I'm not afraid to drive the car when and where I please as opposed to a $20,000 paint job I'm afraid to drive out of the garage.

And need I remind you that factory original paint jobs were far from show quality.

Next time you see one of these 2nd or 3rd rate jobs as you so call them, ask what the investment is. You'll probably find that the price was reasonable and the owner is happy.
