Believe it or not thats how a lot of body shops are now. My friend owns one up here and is amazed cause he has people come to him for complete paint jobs on nice old cars with little to no rust and the customer has been turned away elsewhere. The thought process is the other shop could make 2x the money on collision work for the time invested in the complete respray.
