I believe they could spray it (in a booth) and color sand to an acceptable level in a timely manner. They paint a lot of cars everyday so if the painter is any good chances are it will turn out.

That is probably the road I'll go down with my K30 build. I did use them many years ago on another truck project prior to sell and it worked out great.

Yeah I was prolly a little loose with the maaco comment. My mother in law just had them shoot her Tahoe. I was skeptical because they didn't take anything off like the rear bumper or even the body mouldings but I can't find much wrong with it for $1200 and a 4 year warranty and that price included some dent and ding removal.

I actually agree that if you had your metal work done and we're confident in your body work I wouldn't hesitate to have a driver rig shot there especially in pieces. Plus they're turn around time is going to blow anyone away.
