So. You have a Maaco paint job right now? And they blended the colors of the kit to match the car? Or you had the whole car done? When did you get it done, where at, and how is it holding up? What's the warranty?

they did my whole car and door jambs for 800 bucks. they sanded my car did all the prep work. they even took out s few dents for cheap. they did a good job. people who saw my car at the meet all liked the paint. ok i have my prrof of sale in hand. $200 for prep plus service (highest) $500 for supreme paint job (secound highest) there wasa sale going on also. door Jambs $100 extra $800 total. the warrenty is on cracking peeling fading least thats what it says. but so far so good. just take care of ur paint. after 2 months of hanving the new paint i washed it down with dawn to take all residue off then polished it with megiars number 2. then waxed it with megiars NXT wax. the paint cant really be harmed like this. -------------------- |

Well best of luck with your paint job, if it holds up in a year without flaking around the windows, and doen't peel and crack maybe you're lucky. But it would be a rare find, good luck with the warranty... somehow if so many people have comaplined about their ****ty macco paint jobs, then you think hey would have taken them up on the warranty? Take a search in the newgroups via google searching for macco, and you will find a ton of pissed customers.

i only did it because it will take everything off the car. oils and old wax. i wanted to polish the paint so i had to get down to it without any oils or left over waxs on the paint still. dont wash ur car with it unless u intend to wax it right after since it will leave your paint unprotected.

every paint job in general. swirls are just scratches and every paint job gets scratches unless you polish every 2nd day |

Maaco has a bad rep because they do poor prep work, about 80% of a good paint job is in the prep work and takes the most time, plus even when they paint they do a horrible job overspray painting windows, mirrors etc, i've heard horror stories.
Also you have to remember good quality paint for you whole car, will probably cost $800, Maaco uses the crappiest paint so you get a cheap price. I would only take a car to maaco that had chipping or rust on it that you wanted to sell real quick. |
