[QUOTE="Jonnyswboy, post: 8753083, member: 677275"] Looking for any body/paint people to give me some advice. I have a 2010 Mazda 6 with 95,000 miles (purchased at 60k) and after my subwoofer build I will have about $15,000 total into it. It has several paint imperfections that annoy me as well as some rust on the body panels that will only get worse. $15k is a lot to me so I would really like it to be clean on the outside. I am thinking about taking it to Maaco and having the whole thing painted. My preliminary quote is $900-1500 but they have a $699 deal that I might be able to get. Not sure if it's worth it being 1/7th the value of the car on a good day. Wondering if it would be a better idea to just do spot repairs on the rust areas. Thoughts? [B]Pics [/B]don't really show every imperfection:[SPOILER] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210708_182812.jpg"]30371[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210708_182840.jpg"]30372[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210708_182914.jpg"]30373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210708_182900.jpg"]30374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210708_182759.jpg"]30375[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
