hey guys, i just wanted to piggyback off of mike's very useful thread about paintjobs. i ve been meaning to post this question, as im sure many others have.
questions to ask the shop... 1. what are good paint brands? 2. are there any specific painting techniques you should request at a paint shop? 3. what different types of painting styles are there available? it would be nice for everyone to post comments or questions they would ask before getting their car paitned along with answers if possible! it would be a great help! by the way...does anyone know what integrated gloss is? my friend says its just enamel with the gloss included in it. is that any good? or should i just look to pay extra for more clear coat? thanx! --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money.

Some people can actually lay down a good coat of paint, but, prep-work makes or breaks a paint job. Everything must be blocked and sanded smooth before you lay paint over it. If not, even good paint will look bad. Just make sure they do good prep work, otherwise you'll see bumps, waves, and a grainy texture to it.
