This is just a simple opinion question - I'm sure to get a response :)

If cost is a major option - what are the lists thoughts on having a bus
painted at an Earl Sceib or similar mass painting shop. I tend to be very
apprehensive of their claims. However, what is really the difference between
what they will do for $750 or what a small independent shop will do for
thousands?

I'm not trying to be cheap but $$$$ are always an issue at this point in
life.If a $750 paint job is going to last me many years it may be worth it -
then again I would want it to be of at least good quality and workmanship. I
know it is sort of a dumb question because what I am really asking about is
quality but your opinions will help as I have no bench mark or experience
with any of this.

I'm also once again getting ahead of myself as it will be quite a while
before I am ready to make any decisions on this.
