I decide on how much paint I'd go through and all the hassle. I'm just gonna do a 250 ambassador paint job at maaco's in town and call it a day. It took me nearly 4 cans to do the hood so it had a nice even coat and not be blouchy. Just waiting on the insurance to send me my check. Bastards I hate waiting.

Took me one can to do the hood perfect

If you take it to maaco, atleast do a little prep on your car first, hit the edges with some high grit. Tape off your side mirror glass/muffler

They ------- push the car in, tape and clean for 5 min and just spray. Ive seen some real shitty ------- work on those maaco cars, moulding being painted and such.

Either tip the painter before hand, or do it your ------- self

Congrats on giving up though
