well I decided to take my truck to get painted. In keeping with the "El Cheepo" theam I took it to Earl Schiebs in San Jose. Now I know what some of you are thinking....but they have painted 3 of my cars, a 1953 Chevy wagon, a 64 Galaxie, and a 92 Accord. All of them have come out REAL good.
The trick is to do your own prep and,remove as much trim . Is it a Show paint job ? No but for less then 1000.00 or in this case 650.00 you get a nice shiny paint job, and a life time warranty against fade, peeling, or dulling.
Plus with the money I save I'll be able to lay down some nice pinstriping.
I'm sure some of youl will cringe or laugh at this post but hey its "EL CHEEPO"
