It did take a LOOONG time to complete the job but that was cause he w as doing it on his spare time.
I say the longer the better.Quote:

Maaco did my Shadow when it was in an accident. They had a pretty bad run on the trunk and in about four-five months the paint was flaking off the front. Wasn't too impressed. Oh yea, and they didn't clean my interior. There was a haze of paint dust all over everything, took forever to clean it up.
ive had a few peels on mine. Just take it back and theyll repaint the area though :wink:
i was just thinking of getting my bumper painted at maaco next saturday
ill let you know how it goes and maybe post pics. living here in NYC i have to repaint that thing every summer, damn people dont know how to park without hitting you :evil:
maaco does a pretty good job, when i got rear ended, they painted my back bumper for about 175 and it came out pretty good
LMAO, it was about 4 inches long and a inch wide haha it shouldnt have taken that longQuote:

Ive only seen one job, and it was decent for a black car.
Check my garage, it has pictures of before and after a Maaco paint job. It was decent, though you need to keep the car clean after that (wash it regular and wax it once in a way). The paint does start peeling if they miss clear coating something. Go for the $1000 paint job not the base one, makes a big difference.
Also each branch is different (franchise), so they are owned and operated by individuals. You have to find a good one. Check the reviews and then go. Also the newer ones are always better than the older ones. They used to use Dupont, now they use Sherwin Williams paints, if I remember right.
This. I got a buddy who manages a Maaco and some of the cars he's done are trophy winners at car shows.
This other guy I shoot the breeze with at a local 7/11 also works at a different Maaco and the quality his store does is satisfactory at most. Its a hit and miss basically.
jesus this thread goes back a ways
