Car: '01 STM Impreza 2.5 RS ; '96 "Junior Mints" colored Impreza Brighton - "Bowl of Wet Spaghetti"
Class: We got classes?
Default Miracle Auto paint job?

So.. I'm already wanting the car in one color.

Am I asking for it if I take the Brighton to Miracle to get sprayed?

I would DIY this, but without any place to spray without dust, I don't want to make a huge mess that a proper autobody place will have to clean up later..

Any opinions or ideas on this?

I intend to partially DIY a paint job in the spring. Planning to sand and prime everything myself, then take it to a shop like Shaber to have the panels aligned and the color and clear sprayed. The cheap guys like Maaco and Miracle can probably do a decent job if you do good prep yourself.

Benson Brothers has a paint/body guy, I believe his name is Todd, and access to a down draft booth for cheap. Might want to talk to them.

I was probably going to partially DIY as well, just sanding and masking, but leaving the priming for whomever.

I think I'm going to lean more away from laying anything down myself as I've got more potential to mess up/make one than a semi-professional (heh) person..

Priming isn't hard.
