I actually had my 1953 Jeep station wagon painted by Earl Scheib in the early 70s. It was good value for money! I only paid $300 for the car, and it was strictly a utility vehicle. I got it very clean (but did not sand), and I did all the masking. Drove it to Earl Scheib which was then on South Saunders Street in Raleigh, finished masking the windows there. I was very satisfied with the job - a sort of greenish gray (like parkerizing - the paint never peeled, turned color, or developed any problem whatsoever during my ownership, and it looked appropriate for the vehicle. Win! 👍👍
 
I painted my '67 Ford in the summer sun in my friend's front yard around 1976.

You’ve never seen orange peel, till you’ve seen THAT orange peel. Me and baby sis.

When I was a kid there were advertisements in the news paper for Earl Scheib. His pitch was that he would paint any vehicle for $69.95

looks like a modern day version…

I actually had a car done by an Earl Scheib shop in Baltimore. Looked OK for a beater, unless you opened the trunk and saw a different color.
 
My dad and uncle ran a Texaco Service Station in the 50s. It was my grandfathers, but they ran it. They bought an old panel truck and decided to paint it Texaco red. Soooo, they got a gallon of red paint, a gallon of primer and of course, a gallon of white likker! They painted everything! Wheels, windows, everything! They spent hours scraping paint off when they sobered up! Grandma was so proud ! 🤣😂
 
I’m pretty sure I used Earl Scheib on my car in the mid-90s. But it may have been Econo or Peaches. I’ve used two of the three, but can’t remember which one was the first.

I had them debadge the car at the same time and fill in the holes that were left. When I picked it up, you could see a shadow in all the areas they’d used bondo (or whatever they actually used). I pointed them out, and got a response that I just couldn’t argue with. He said: “son, what you’re talking about is perfection…and that’s not my company’s policy”. 🤣🤣

Whenever I used the other shop for the yellow truck I’ve posted pic of before, I had different issues. There was yellow overspray on the exhaust tips. When I pointed it out the guy went into the shop and came back with paint thinner or something and wiped it off. Then I point out the yellow overspray on my tires. His solution? He went in the shop and came out with a can of black spray paint. 🙄
