not quite true, just like anything, shop around. i had a guy paint my gf's accord bumper for 100 bucks, he does body kits and other things all the time, he did a better job than the proffesional shop that took 3 weeks to do my rear bumper on my truck ( insurance) and i actually paid out over 1000 bucks to get a front fender painted as welll. shop around and check their prior work, and you can find a gem.

Ask around. Check out their previous work. Get quotes. Decide. It isn't tough.

Then again... better get Macco.

If you do all the prep and prime then macco doesnt turn out all that bad....still not reccomend since most paint jobs they do are 1 coat(paint and clear coat mixed)

If i were you id just save more money and get a really good quality paint job. I took my lancer to L&G Enterprise, well worth every single penny.
