i spent 700 at maaco and did all the prep work and body work myslef. (also did the door jambs) Came out GREAT and I was VERY happy.... minor over spray, but no orange peel.....

 

^^^ you got lucky! I got one of my diesels painted there and looked like shit. And needless to say the clear is pealing really bad after 2 years

 

Maaco seems to be VERY hit or miss most of the time. The biggest issue people I know have with them is their lack of prep work. I see cars all the time with overspray everywhere and you can tell the car was not prepped correctly.

Save your money and get a reputable shop or person to do it. Youll thank yourself later.

 

that diesel looks familiar, think we did some work for the guy that owns it a few years back.

 

Please please please, do not trade a gun for a paint job......think man, think!

 

what color is it???ill do it for 1600 as long as no major bodywork...and no color change..

 

its black, and i have had 2 people already give me prices well below that. but thanks

 

get what you pay for.

+1 for nftuatn, he does good work

 

its cool man...im sure the "so called cheaper jobs will be done in some ones garage...with no booth...cheapest materials they can find....AND THE BEST PART IS they wont stand behind their work..so when it starts peeling in a year or so beacuse of shitty prep work and shitty materials ...guess what???your shit up the creek...

 

the 2 people i have talked to work at body shops. one works at ford, and the other at art walkers at the beach
