paint Options

everyones gonna tell me "dont do it" and stuff like that, but does anybody know how much a cheap paint job from a place like maaco cost? i plan on getting a good paint job on it when i get stuff done, but this winters kicking my paintjobs ass, and its starting to peel off the bumper, and look like ****. so i just want a cheap paint job to put on so it'll look decent until i get money for a good one. thanks.

if you do that, thats just the biggest waste of money i've ever heard

Waste of money--yes, but he wanted an answer not a harassment.

$200 is the cheapest Maaco offers I believe.

If it's just the front bumper I'll sell you my bra. Toyota bra in decent shape. I'd say $20 + shipping.
No point in paying 200+(Maaco is real crappy anyways) only to spend more later on another paint job.

If u do Maaco, try and prep the car yourself first. If ya can, great. Maacos paint jobs suck cause they don't prep well.

I have heard alot on my probe forums about people preping the car B4 they take it in.
Some have a couple months and still looking great and others have a couple years.

One guy even taped it up in the parking lot to save time and a lil cash.
