Earl Schieb?
 

Any body have there car painted, or heard good things about Earl schieb? They should be a bit better then maaco, but who knows. Anyone?

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

had my current hatch painted by maaco. They did a decent job I paid like $699 for the presidential special. lol

had a another hatch painted by Earl Schieb back in 1997. It was funny. Drove it down in the morning, and drove it back that same day. lol $299 for there semi-cheap paint. lasted a few years ( I was in high school, so thats what I could afford at the time)

all in all, I would def go back. I would recommend doing your own body work first.

If I dont paint my cars myself, they're goin to Earl S or Maaco

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

Haha well considering Im just now getting out of High school, thats what Im looking for. and the old man says I cant use the garage anymore for paint. That kind of spooked me when I was reading on there website you can drop it off at 8am and have it by 5pm the same day haha. But if it lasts for a few years, thats all I care. I know they stand behind there warranties though, doesnt seem like too bad of a deal.

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

not bad for the cost. Im assuming its not a show car or anything. As long as it shines.haha

They will tell you to park it in the garage and not to wash it for about a week or so.

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

Ya I have had 4-5 friends have stuff painted at macco. The medium package they have seems to be alright


Ill vouch that don's car looks pretty good

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

Nope. no show car quality, just going white again. and all it has to do is shine O0. Anybody happen to have pics?

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

Heard of a guy that uses maaco for paint on some nice cars. They guy has a body man do all the work then trailers the car to and from Maaco.

Their painter spray paint all day, one of the older guys might actually be good. lol.

d15...I like how it has stock fat mouldings, then thin mouldings, then no moulding :P

Looks good for 2 years, how bad was the overspray?

I don't think asking on the forum will give you accurate ideas of what to expect. The shop will perform as well as its workers.

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

thats jaydem yo!

the new fenders didnt come with the strip, and the door molding just faded

overspray was on the windows alittle bit and on the ole fart can, but nothing major.

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

Ahhh I hear ya. I had a black crx with a y49 primer grey hood, gotta mix and match...

Pretty shiny paint though. Doesn't look too bad, I gotta get my $500 teg painted this summer.

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

If you get it done at Schieb, I would only stick with the color white.

it hides the flaws ;)

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

deffinatly go with a lighter color for sure.

unless you dont mind seeing flaws. minor flaws in the body, will look huge with a darker color :(

Re: Earl Schieb?
 

thats why your rex died! :-\
