I'm considering painting my 57 Dodge, both because it needs it, and because
it will probably help it sell (of course, I'll probably like it so much
after its painted, I won't want to sell it). Due to the fact that I'm in
college and my job doesn't pay me diddly, I'd like to take a cheap, yet
quality route. My question is, should I use Sears Weatherbeater, or should
I go with the Dutch Boy premium series? AND, should I use a brush or a
roller?
HA HA, just kidding.
But seriously, I was just curious if anyone had any experience in dealing
with a place such as Maaco, and how things went. A previous owner said a
repaint at Maaco would run around $325, and that would cover some bodywork
repairs as well as removal of all chrome/stainless trim, and I think maybe
even the bumpers for painting. The paint job doesn't have to be award
winning, I just want to get a layer of something on the car to inhibit rust
from starting/spreading. Like I said, I'm just looking for any feedback,
positive or negative, and/or any suggestions of other places that might do a
quality job for someone with a budget like I have. I live in the Columbus,
Ohio area, just in case anybody on the list knows someone close by.
Thanks in Advance,
