There are many ways to paint your car. 

For instance, I am doing all the body work and prep on
my Golf GT. I just want someone to spray it. I will
not be having the door jambs etc. painted.

So I don't expect to pay much (it's a Golf!), I'll
probably let Maaco spray it for a couple hundred.

However, next in line is Kristen's 1978 Scirocco. I
will do as much of the body work as I can, but if
there is any rust areas that I can't handle (don't
know yet), I'll get a good body work guy to do it.
Even if I don't do all the prep work, I expect to pay
big bucks for this, as I'll have the door jambs done
too. 

I think a local shop is the best way to go for a
quality spray. Get a million references!
