So Maaco does a good job? Ok i'll try them.

X ITCHY X: When you went to Maaco is that the price of a color change?? Let me know thanks.

I know a person that had a white corolla painted blue at Maaco, for under $900
but it was the outer panels only, under the trunk and hood doors are white, inside the doors are white and inside around the window pillars are still white. and they did not do a good job of removing rust, it came back and started to lump under the paint near a wheel well. They do offer better jobs for more money. maacos cheaper paint jobs are good if you just want to restore its original color.

Damn I want to just repaint my car to pearl black my car is metallic black right now....How much you think for that? It's not a major change..

However, my suv right now is light blue it looks purple and i want it to be bright blue LoL now that needs a drastic change before i can put rims on it. LoL

Isn't anything that's pearl actually like getting 2 pain jobs? First they prime it, then put down like a silver metallica base and then a semi-transparent color on top of that?
