I second this as well. No matter in a shitty paint booth or $60,000 paint booth, you will never have a better paint job than straight from the factory line.
As for Coxtons, i've been there over two years...I've seen bad work, I've seen good work. What the hell do you expect?

Re: Auto Body Shop Horror Stories
well....all of you are about five hours away from me, but i will share my experiences...
dont let a 16yr old drive your car! nuff said.....16k in damages, and out for 10 months...mainly while parts were ordered. seems it is kinda hard to get major body parts (quarters, fender, two doors, etc...) on a brand new car.
but...i am happy to say that even though it took a while (which doesnt matter to me, since it was on my toy, and i have three other cars too....) i got it back in immaculate shape. you cannot...and i repeat cannot...tell it has been fixed. at all.
as for the trash in paint deal.....well.....if you have a 2 mil. booth....then there is an issue....i asssume for that much it is a cross draft? or downdraft?
i have seen some paint jobs that come out perfect, and they were painted in a shop with tarps up....it is all in the way you shoot.
btw...i highly reccomend Bernies Collision Repair...if anyone of you are in the area needing work. he only does insurance work, and is a collision specialist...not just a body shop. there is a difference.
