I have 2 earl schieb jobs and they both sucks but you get what you paid for. I had 1 one day and paint jobs and it was well worth that money. It was like 300 bucks. The paint came out smooth. I was so surprise that it was my car sitting in the front when it was done. It was like getting a new car.

I'm still debating whether or not repaint the civic. Well so far I have some support to keep original color and some none support. I'll see whatz up, when I consult my girl . She's the one paying for the paint job. Let me just say if I dont go with the repaint I just might go with some Rota wheels.

The difference between one day paint and body and Earl Schibe is the process thet both use. One day actually does a real paitn job meaning they have people that personally spray the cars. At Earl Schibe the machines do the painting, so your not getting a text book even paint job and your car is prone to more runes of paint then by an actual person spraying the car.

one day is better than earl sheib. the only thing that one day does not do is remove your bumpers/kits/door etc to paint seperately. they leave everything in tact. but call and ask...they might charge you a little more. i'd recommend going to the one here in batavia/collins.

well to be honest i would leave the green color since there arnt to many out there and second paint shops are always kind of uhhh... not as good as you plan it to be espicially paying under 1000 for a complete paint job so be careful out there....
