IceNine has some good info there... I'm glad someone got into that as I didn't want to explain, lol! We did paint and body work for a while and the water out of the compressed air deal is spot on (we have filters on ours of course). I'd definately spray the car... just step away from that roller.
Also the MAACO comment is spot on... if you take a car there, take it prepped and taped off with everything you don't want the color they're spraying taped. Or they'll spray anything that isn't glass. Seriously, I'm not kidding... trim will be body color, turn signals and lights will be oversprayed, etc. We had a white Supercharged car like that (poor thing).
Also you DO indeed get what you pay for... good paint will usually look much better (even when fresh) and a year later (or 3 years later), should still look like it did the day you finished the car. Junk paint always seems to break down quicker and look worse much sooner than a good quality paint. We painted my N/A in house, but had it not been my car it probably would have been around a $3K to maybe $4K job when everything was factored in with labor and supplies.
By the way... IceNine... isn't that from the Recruit? Wasn't that what they were trying to steal? (or maybe my mind is failing, lol).
