How is it? Anyone ever get a paint job there? On the site it has 4 levels of paint ranging from 200 dollars for the whole car to 1000+. I was gonna give the cheap one a try and see how it turns out. Anyone ever have it done?

As long as you know what your doing as far as prep goes its DECENT at best. If you dont prep it right, they paint it anyway. Id save and get it done right. When I got my camaro done it took me MONTHS to prep it and I had the head painter of Atlas here in Akron do it, they specialize in Mercedez and BMW dealerships. The primer alone used on my car was more expensive than a MAACO job lol

You will get what you pay for... I think that is the place that did the paint on a car I had to redo once. They didnt even clean the dirt/debree off. basically just painted over mud, dust, whatever...Looked like *** and was peeling in huge chunks within a couple of weeks.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif A nice paintjob starts with good prep work.

Ive seen good maaco paint jobs and horrific ones.

You are going to take a risk with maaco.

But if you feel like it, why not.

We did the prep on my friends car and taped it all off when we got there so all they had to do was paint it and clear....it came out super nice one of the best spray jobs ive ever seen.

Cost him about $950

It truly is prepwork that makes the difference and the buffing afterwards, and they do neither at all. They try to paint as many as they can everyday
