good for you bro!
just like you said, the G has sentimental value to you...so treat it like family and dont skimp. You might even hand it down to your kids as their first car. :wink:
My GTZ (actually my wife's) was my wedding present to her. That was our first purchase as a couple. Bought the same day we got legally married. maybe that's why we love this car so much. :wink:
I went around to all the "McDonalds" Paint shops and some of the Independent Paint Shops when I was looking to paint one of my previous cars. From what I gathered One-A-Day had the best paint and reputation among the "McDonalds" Paint shops [i.e. Maaco, Earl Scheib, and One-A-Day.]
One-A-Day had the option for the separate clear coat like Maaco, and a 7-year Warranty. And the one's I went to were always busy with alot of customers. They used DuPont paint as well and they even had some custom cars being painted. [i.e. Lowriders and Muscle Cars.]
Alot of the Independent shops only wanted to give a 1 or 2 yr warranty! WTF?! :shock:
One of my friends had a Maaco paint job, it started fading and peeling, he took it back, they re-painted it, and it happened again. All within 1-2yr period. He ended up selling the car and left the faded paint since it was a crappy quality. :smt011
But like every1 else said, best way to get a good paint job is to either do the prep work on your own or pay some1 else separately if you go to a cheap place, and make sure they dont apply a integrated clear coat paint, but a base coat & a separate clear coat.
Or just pay the big bucks and have it done right... :|
Personally I would choose One-a-day and their best paint. =approx. $1000.00
thats good with all the work they did on your car, but with this amount of money i could buy a 2000-02 galant gtz in good a$$ condition around here!! :DQuote:
