Thanks Jack,

I wish more People would realize that,but times and again we get People in
that give the standard Reply when they hear the price for a good Paintjob:

But Earl Scheib(Maaco -One-day...) does it for 300 bucks !!!!!!

I actually sent several People over to Maaco and told them to look at a
freshly painted car and decide if they wanted their car to look like that.
Works every time.

Peter.
