I had my paint done from macco in fairfax also, nighthawk black pearl on my lude. Came out looking really good and still does look good. Was done about a year ago. I paid $500 for it. I spent a week in sanding with wetsand also.

Both cars were done at Macco

It's odd that very reputable paint shops charge $2-3k for good prep/paint work, but somehow Maaco does it for $500? Where does the price difference come from?

Current pics please of the 5 year old Maaco paint job.

For those of you saying maaco job is shit...lol
i paid 1200$ for the top shit that they had there..and i sanded the car myself, the paint job came out pretty good.. just had a few minor flaws...I really don't know how long the paint is going to last.. but i had the car painted for about a year now and its still in good condition..
