You mean Maaco.

They do a good job as long as you do all the prep work for them.

You pay for a cheap paint job, you WILL get a cheap paint job, end of story. Unless you got the hook up with someone who does good work.

if you want whole body paint, make sure you pay not cheap one. The way they do good.


My whole body car looks good but i need some paints on few parts of car body. i might go for cheap paint. it's not big deal.

Single stage: Color and clear in one

Dual stage: Colar sprayed then cleared, most common and best looking, done at factory.

Definetly pay for good paint. My sister had her bronco painted there, must have went cheap on the paint - after a month it was so oxidized she might as well used rattle can flat black! :tardbang:
Oh yeah go with single coat, I haven't had a base coat/clear coat factory or aftermarket that the clear hasn't peeled off! :cussing:

My last car got a Maaco paint job 6 years before it was retired. It still looked really good when I parked it. Maybe I just got lucky.
