I am very pleased with the results. I took it to a local "Econo" paint place because the factory paint was heavily oxidized all over and peeling on the hood and roof. They smoothed out a few dings, sanded down to bare metal 80% of the truck, primered, sprayed it with Emerald Green Metallic enamel, and a coat of clear. Overall, they did a phenomenal job for $700.
I couldn't justify a $5000 acrylic base coat/clear coat paint job on a $4000 Suburban. But these guys did an amazing job for the price on a work-in-progress daily driver.
Yeah, theres a little overspray here and there. But overall I think it was money well spent
edit: they did not paint the bumpers or the mirrors. They have a home applied coat of rattle can black acrylic. The paint shop only painted the body, and they put one coat of black enamel on the aftermarket plastic grill.
They also, for some reason, painted my roof rails emerald green too.
