I heard they were ok to get a clear coat... that's not saying much but i dont think i would personally leave my car there unattended...

 

[98TsiAWD]

I wouldnt take my car there if I was attended the whole time.

haha.. I'm not that far yet.. All I have mastered thus far is custom interior work, engine work, and stereo/electronics... I planned on waiting until AFTER I move off the dirt road to undertake body-work.. I never thought maaco was that high on the list anyhow... All the shops they own around here are pretty shitty looking, I havent seen a Maaco commercial in years tho. Funny ish tho..

Actually not all Maaco shops are the same. They are run according to their managers/owners, so some do better prep work than others....you may have a to pay a little more...but I have actually seen a few "decent" Maaco paint jobs. Overall, you get what you pay for though.

If i had some cheap car that needed a quick spray for it to look decent/ I would go to maaco. Other then that never. I would never trust them with paint like the paint on my car.

I have seen 2 cars done by maaco and they were both nicely done. Clean paint jobs. But they were the highest on the list I think. But still, I think that was $600. I wouldn't trust it with my car, but it may be ok. If you consider it, ask them about the process they use.

If you can do prep work, and you keep the paint close to the bottom layer, you can get a good paint job just about anywhere. Paint is 90% prep, so remember that.

 

[black9d1tsiawd]

^^^^^ he is correct!!!

 

[wastefuldreamer]

Very true. I prepped my car for about 4 days. Taking out dents. Being my first time it took a long time. But the actual paint spraying was like 2 hours.

Thought everyone would get a kick out of this. First of all I have a Sarona red spyder and the paint is beautiful for the most part. I have door dents that I havent taken out yet and some chips and what not. I took it to Maaco just to see what they offer and ask some questions.


When they guy went out to see my car and he almost choked himself while lying to me about how they can paint it to look the same as it is now. Before I left I asked him straight, and he told me they cant paint cars to make them look as shiny and nice as my 5 year old paint job currently is.

Oh and they are to retarted there to know how to take out dents without repainting like Dentpro. Also, they dont do any sanding or buffing even with the highest most expensive service possible. Basically if you have a dustbuster sitting around that you want a halfassed spray for cheap then take it to Maaco, anything else take it to a nice custom shop. He said if I wanted Dupont chrome paint they would have to special order and blah blah blah. Waste of time.
