thinking about going to Maaco

[munster000]

I plan on prepping myself, and having maaco spray it. Inside of trunk, door pannels, and underside of hood, etc...

what do you guys think? any experience with Maaco? Or pics?

I heard most people go to Maaco only when they are about to sell the car. They seem to do crappy work. I guess it depends on the quality of work you want. Can anyone recommend any other shops that do a good job and won't charge an arm and a leg? Because I need to repaint my car too.:D

Ju-on (Brandon) got his car painted at maaco and it looks pretty good for the price.

I plan on getting a repaint at macoo but I have been told to go to a macoo out of the cities because they actually take their time and do a better jobs compared to the ones in the cities...

If you take your car to maaco. You must not give a damm about your car.

Bradon's Maaco job is actually very nice considering what he paid. Maaco does fine work and can actually do some pretty nice paint jobs if you're willing to pay for it.

I've had my car painted at maaco. I went for the base/clear job. The paint job turned out great but after a while it loses the fine gloss. It's been 2 years since the paint job it still looks pretty good.

They're not bad, but you get what you pay for. They're not as good as the factory paint job by any means.

Maaco in Burnsville has done alot of work for me and it's all been great. Steve is right however, if you tell them you want it done as cheap as possible they will not spend that much time preping. Also, the owner will give you options on the quality of paint you want to use. Obviously if you use lower quality paint it will be cheaper but will fade/oxidize quicker.

If you prep it and tape it yourself it will save you some serious dough.

I'll let you be the judge. This is Maaco's $600 paint job. I paid $900 in the end because they fixed a couple dings, and I bought the $100 prep job as well.

Shut up.

And this was done at the Maaco in Osseo, not 2 minutes from LSE. They use Dupont paints, and do all of Toyota City's body work/paint jobs.
