I had mine done at Maaco in Manassas -- while the quality of paint looked good -- upon close inspection there were areas which i requested to be redone due to bubbles, dust, dirt, and other impurities. Of course they did them, but didn't totally fix it.

Did it look good from the naked eye a few feet back? Hell yea, but a good paint job (imo) is when you have a smooth clean finish, up close inspection yeilding little to no rough spots, dirt/bubbles, or uneven coats.

I stick by browning's autobody in Manassas -- their paintjob was superior IMO. Albeit probably more expensive (Insurance paid for it). For touchups and detail work, check out DetailAuthority in Herndon (http://www.waxmycar.com/). They may be able to recommend a paint shoptoo if it's beyond them.

This just based on my experience with them, as well as the experience of family whom have used them as well.

 

How much would it cost to get a teg painted it's originial color again with good quality work?

 

I could get you a damn good paint job for like 1500. No Back yard painted in my garage, or maaco garbage but a paint job done by a real shop. My boy runs a paint shop off of fullerton. Let mke know if your interested.

 

Is the 300 dollar paint job where they just paint over your old paint or do they prep the car for paint like primer and sanding

 

when i get the spoiler for my elantra, im going to be lookin at paint shops to take the spoiler to

 

i how ever preped my car but they do sand down a lil bit of your old paint so the new paint will stick if you how ever choose to add primer that will be a extra 75$ to the 300

 

i think my spoiler will be coming just primerd, it's coming from a dealer in canada

 

u cant tell how a paint job looks from pictures like that get real! check out the shop on fullerton. if u want to spend 500 bux on a paint job then your gonna get a honda civic quility body kit paint job if thats what u want then thats what your gonna get. thsi is your car why spend all that loot in upgrades body kit turbo or what ever u do to your shit then go cheap on what everyone sees!?

 

the maaco shop on fullerton or what? i know i had my first car painted at the maaco in springfield and it seemed pretty good but i want it to match the same color as my car tidal wave blue

 

thats funny. maaco paintjob.



I dont suggest it. Because im a very meticulous person. The previous owner had it painted. My door was hit awhile back and im getting the car repainted and prepped the right way.
