Anyone gotten car painted at any Macaos in NOVA?
I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten a paint job at either the Springfield Fairfax or chantilly maaco. If there is anyone how good or bad was it? Also how much was it. Any help is appreciated

It's Maaco, you get what you pay for. . .I bet you saw that "half off our premier service" commercial that's been playing up here.
If you are going on a budget with them, they will tape off your door handles and windows, and spray some shit that will peel in 18months.

I know for a fact that the one in Springfield is shady as fuck and I would never in a million years take my car there for anything.
Go to a real body shop. Spectrum in Arlington is the tits.

I am going to put the OP's username, and the fact he/she can't get Maaco right, and say that this is perfect for their needs.

take it to the one in sterling. not bad. if you go in and tell the guy specifically to watch out for your rims, exhaust. IC piping, and all that he will do a good job for you. tell him you will refer people for him if he does a good job and he will.
you can also remove fenders, bumper, hood and it will make it come out better

I've heard mixed reviews. Depending on the shop and the painter. Not talking about the econmy crap. I've been thinking about getting my Celica repainted black, using their "premium" service. I had a front bumper/hood painted back in like 03/04 and it was straight. Painted held up just fine. I'm still suspect tho which is probly why I haven't done it.
