[Roadsters] Fw: OK Ebay trash and painting thoughts

[Brian St. Jacques]

The route I went took a couple weeks. There is no way all of that work
could be done in 1 day. In may case (for the most part) "black is black"
so I was not worried about color matching.

The thing that bugs me about Maaco and One-Day Paint & Body is that you
have to use their paint/colors.  If you want the original color on a car
and they do not have it, they will not do the job if you supply the
paint.  i tried to get them to do it and it was a big NO WAY!

	FYI don't know about MAACO, but 1day P&B will not warranty the
paint if
	you do your own prep work.
	The mission viejo shop did do a pretty go job though.
