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
Paint

is that really necessary? I realize you know people here but is it really worth coming here to insult and undermine people's efforts?

please realize I'm not targeting you simply because you don't own a celica but rather that these kinds of discouraging comments really bother me. we have a community here and I think its important that we support each others efforts regardless of what kind of budget we are working off of. my 2 'sense'

Thanks Ghost and dstrb
It is not the quality of the Maaco paint job that is lacking. The thing that makes most Maaco paint jobs so poor is the lack of prep work that they put in to it. I did not have the time or the money to take it to a premier paint shop. I have watched a man I know do a custom paint job on a cargo van. It took him roughly two weeks just to do the prep work. The paint, falking, and decals took only another 2 or 3 days. I knew what I was getting into and all that I am saying is for a low price and a short turn around period, Maaco did a very decent job.
BTW: Ghost your car is sweet. Love the Hiro and SS-III splitters.
