Okay guys, I am thinking about getting a paint job from Maaco. I know all the rumors about it, but I know a few people that have gotten it done there, and they say as long as the car is prepped very well I should be fine.
What I was wondering is what is the difference between Urethane Enamel and Synthetic Enamel?
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I plan on doing the Indigo Ink Pearl from lexus/toyota

Thanks guys. I just rough sanded it with 80 grit with a DA sander. You can still see some of the lines from where I sanded it, Maaco was supposed to prep it as well, but obviously they didn't or else those lines wouldn't have been there. If I would have done it over I would have hit it with 220 grit as well, but I had to rush to get it painted before heading back to college. Overall I'd say it was a pretty decent job for $450.
