Lol look at it this way. A shop has professionals with experience doing your paint. But at bcit, you are letting your car be at risk of ring someone's mistake lol

if you don't care about the quality and just want a refresh, i say do it. the teachers are there too so it can't be THAT bad. but if its quality you want, go to a shop.
Probably get a much better job done at one of the the $500 maaco's... I think that's the first (and last) time anyone can say Maaco is likely higher quality LOL.
As you would have to pay for materials at BCIT/VCC cost would likely be within a few hundred bucks.
The gist of VCC's vehicle acceptance policy is that the job has to be somewhat relevant to the curriculum and it'll take a really long time to complete the job (so it can't be a daily).
I would take it to an actual shop and save the hassle, Maaco's if you really don't gaf (or just DIY it with some color matched spray bombs).
EDIT: Yes they also do bodywork.

It sounds stupid, but I have seen some vehicles done like this that turned out amazing. Its cheap but time consuming to do as once you are done you need to do a lot of wet sanding once its try to get a properly smooth surface and then a cut polish to make it shine properly.
im a student there learning automotive refinishing
you can call in and ask if you can bring in your car
but my instructor said starting november/december a lot of customers car will be coming in
we have worked on one customers car which was a black subaru legacy gt, we had to fix the quarter panel. the result was very nice, all scratch marks gone and finish looks smooth.
also the paint job is not free, but a bit cheaper than shops outside.

Define a bit cheaper? If you mean only slightly, who in their right mind would let a bunch of students work on the car for a small discount...
