Default Earl Scheib?

Anyone ever gotten a paint job from them? They seem cheap but with good work, so just looking for any opinions. http://www.earlscheib.com/

Cheap stuff aint good, and good stuff ain't cheap.

Note it, remember it, and live by it. If something is too good to be true, remember this, because it probably is. However, don't make the opposite mistake either, just because it costs more it is better. That one does not always hold up under scrutiny.

^^ How does this help again?^^

Earlsheibs has been around a while..... never thought about
paint before, didn't care that much for my rust buckets, I think
they liked the attention so I did want to mess the look for um.
I heard MAACO was cheaper, but earlsheibs may have been
around longer, I'm really not sure, I'm basing my judgement
off of hearing the name earlsheib in old "yo mama jokes."
So if I was helpful (and probably not) I say just go there and get their top quality stuff and call it a day if your worried about quality.
Most places have products for cheap bastards, and quality bastards
in their product paint line.


Seacrest OUT!!!

Being around awhile means nothing. GM, Dodge, and Ford have been around awhile, but they suck too. Their paint looks cheap because it is cheap. I see trades everyday and can see the difference between cheap work, good work, and outstanding work.

If you overpay for something of quality, the worst that happens is you paid too much. If you pay too little for something that is cheaper, the worst that happens is you've spent your money on something that doesn't do what you paid for it to do, and then you have to buy the thing again.

You paid for what you get. Earl sheib is better than nothing but the quality sucks. Dont expect the gloss or paint to last long.

basically if you want an Earl Sheib paint job it means you're selling your car and need it to look good for about 2 months.
