Default RE: Touch Up the Original Paint.

Well it all depends on the prep work. Earl Schibe and Maaco didn't used to do any prep work. You had to do it. Don't know how it is now.9 to5 doesn't seem to be enough time for any prep work to me, unless they have a 15 guys working on it and either way that's not good. LOL! They just spit it on and bake it smooth with heat lamps. The actual spraying would only take a few hours for a base /clear job. About the same time it takes to hand wash your car for each coat of paint plus set up and clean up. most paint manufacturers suggest letting the car set for 3 days before you touch or drive them but I like to wait 6 just to be sure. Earl Schibe and Maaco Jobs usually flake of with in two years from what I hear. I don't think I would take any car I cared about to either of them. You'd be better of spraying it your self. Cheers
