Re: new paint job

That looks pretty fucking nice for a Macco Job, at least in the pic. What's your honest impression of the work near masked/taped areas. What was all included in the 1200?

Re: new paint job

definetely want to see it in person and see it after a couple months that way you have more time to find any imperfections if there are any.

Re: new paint job

Maaco is actually pretty decent for the money. I use the one in St Louis Park and their work has gotten a lot better. I just had a fender done on a Miata and a lot of front end work on a Jeep Liberty. Both times their work was top notch for being on the low side of pricing. You can usually barter a bit on the pricing if they're not super busy, like right now. :-)

Re: new paint job

I saw this car by chance today outside the Best Buy in Roseville. Doesn't look half bad!

Re: new paint job

ive heard good things and bad things about maaco. I guess it's really luck of the draw who you get inside the booth doing your car.

Re: new paint job

So I take it since you went white that you plan to make some serious power.
