Help with what? Choosing a color? Prep? Tools? Spraying?
Should be a little more specific.

That's quite a big to take on by yourself without any knowlege, or equipment. You should be a little more specific as to what you want.

Ive painted a vehicle before just wondering if anyone might wanna help with the preping and plus MACCO is JUNK!!!!!!
I am sure Maaco is better than what you can do in your garage. Halon's car looks very nice.

Is a Maaco job as nice as a $2000 paint job from "XXX bodyshop", maybe not, but I think JUNK is a bit harsh. You be the judge. This cost me $900, which included repainting the entire car the stock color, prepping it, and fixing a few dents/dings.

B-mans car turned out great.
Although he knows the front bumper needed touching up and one other place, but for the price and the way the car looked i wouldn't cry about it or complain, i think he went back or is going back to get a piece painted and the bumper touched up.
