I wouldnt take anything to them....unless of course it was prepped properly before hand and all they had to do is spray it.

Its gonna be hit or miss...

I had two cars painted by them. The first was my 87 cutlass (Silver Metalic) and they had to do alot of body work and it turned out flawless for $1200.00 and I had the car for about three years and the paint never peeled, chipped or faded. The second car was my 86 Monte Carlo SS (Pearl White) and that time they did not do such a good job, it had finger prints, drips and it started to chip after a year and a half. So it is hit or miss.

Yep, if you do chose to go with them.....I HIGHLY recommend you do the prep work yourself.....thats usually where they cop out....

And in all honest, no picture you see over the internet will do a paint job justice....the only way to know if it was done right is to have a trained eye look at it in person....

Those didn't look bad, I don't think one should go in there expecting a 5k paint job for 600 dollars.

they wanted almost 1500 to do my tbird. there 200 bucks bullshit is a farce unless like mikey said.. if the car is prepped first and just a spray

wet sand that bish yourself and it should be ok. If your hands dont hurt when you're done you didnt do it right.

yeah, thats what my boy did to his car. and this was when they had that presidential deal going on i think he paid like 300 for that paint job. but it varies from maaco to maaco. We have two maacos in my state and the one in wilmington does shitty work on the other hand the one in newark does great work

If you don't want the emblems, Handles, Exhaust tips etc the same color better tape them before you take it to them.

They only care about numbers and quota.
