Could you also share the ballpark for cost? I'm in Ohio so prices are probably on-par.

I didn't want them to do door jams, or anything beyond the exterior. It was 2k normally for their premium package but they ran a 50% off for Black Friday and I was able to book it with my local shop because you had until the end of January to do the work.
There is overspray, there are dust particles, there is a run or two, orange peel but honestly I'm super happy with it for this car (dedicated AutoX, 200k miles). I think the key thing is that this car can't lose too much value from the paint job, something nicer would probably take a significant hit from this paint job just because of the overspray.

100% a Maaco job but perfect for my needs and wayy cheaper than a wrap.
I'm considering doing some wet sanding.. but its a dedicated AutoX car and I'm not sure its worth it at this point.
Not much prep. I filled 3 dents, filled spoiler holes on the trunk, removed fog lights/housing, and removed the weather stripping on the roof.
