"I just want it to look descent" Now that is the statement that is gonna get ya with this car no-matter where you go. You say the paint is cracked and flaking and different colors. Unless they take this old finish down to bare metal they will not get rid of the cracks and the new paint will do the same thing. If they do what you "really" want you won't be able to justify the high price for what the car is worth. If they do what you "say" you want (just want it to look descent) then the scope of the word "descent" is wide open for interpretation and the chance that theirs and yours are parrallel is probably less than zero! I'm not defending these shops by any means but 50% of the unhappy customers of auto repair shops set themselves up for it by either not giving requirements , not giving complete and accurate requirements OR knowingly giving vague or misleading requirements in an effort to keep the price low and then complaining about the finished product quallity. Trust me , in my 35 yrs of body/paint I have seen just as many shady customers as shady shops. I could tell you some stories you wouldn't believe about Joe Q Public and how honest he/she is. COMMUNICATION/CLEAR AND HONEST REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH SIDES!! Once you tell them what you REALLY expect , you probably won't like the price.
