Nobody does down to the metal sanding. It is pointless. many cars have dents, dings, etc anyhow. They prep every car. Just some better than others. There is no way they could take your car through the wash and spray it. Painting is alot of work. Amaco is cheap for a reason. Their prep work is less than that of a normal shop. Painting is not the difficult part. Painting in itself is the easy aspect. Sanding and prep work is the hardest and most time consuming. That is why they are able to charge less than other shops.
As far as the rust on the fender goes, what were you expecting? You should have just bought another fender. It is going to rust again anyhow. I highly doubt that they cut out the rust and welded a new section in. You should have just gone to a junkyard and found another fender for $75. Then you have a better chance of the paint matching anyhow. [/quote]
Yea I know they dont wash and paint... ther is some Scuffing as I said. They only scuff to make the paint stick somewhat to the car....
I didnt know that Amaco painted cars, is that new?
Oh and about welding a fender area. Maybe its not worth it for the front fenders, but I had a section behind the passenger door that was welded in and painted....
Also if an area had rust and it was properly sanded off and primed and prepped then it should NOT rust back. Unless it was crapply prepped and painted.
