Automotive painting
Has anyone painted a car here? Has anyone here had a car painted (like at Maaco or Earl Sheib or any place like that)? Please share your experiences in great detail.

My family has a 1965 VW Beetle which is just a gem of a car, but the paint is really starting to go (oxidation, bubbling, cracking). We'd really like to keep this classic alive but not at incredible cost as it is not worth all that much. I'd really like to find out about removing trim, windows, and handles and such vs. masking (which all the economy places do).
