Car's going to Maaco on Thursday

ARdoller · Jan 9, 2009

i can see it now...

you'll get the car back, and you'll be on here saying "you guys were wrong, they did a nice job, it turned out pretty good for the price"

then in about a month you'll be on here again saying "i F***ing hate macco, my paint is fading, its spidering in spots, and you can see streaks in the paint".

you would be better off buying a spray gun and a case of beer and figuring it out yourself

i've spray painted a car. I'd rather spray paint my car camo then have macco do it. But I do my own professional jobs with PPG products and our shops paint booth

Painting isn;t that hard....get a compressor, gravity feed gun and some other crap and try it yourself.

If I can do it and make it look good anyone can.

Dunno about some of you guys but I've put way too much time and money to let a Maaco shop touch my car.

Kthxbye

Going to pick it up right now.

It snowed/snowing like hell today, supposed to get 7-9 inches. IDK if I'll have pics today.

Oh, you're in PA, yeah it's snowing like crazy in Cleveland too.

my friend got his integra done at a maaco, but then again, they didnt do the cheap job, they went for the most expensive, so it turned out pretty nice.

i wish you luck, but i wouldnt expect too much.

talking about rattle cans, if you buy some nice duplicolor it comes out good haha, except for i would take it to a place to professionally get it clear coated, so it is like a legit job, if your good at spray painting lmao.

Do it yourself paiting is eazy it is the prep work that is a bitch,If you do it your self it will still be better than what they will do atleast if you do it the paint wont be coming off in sheets.

Boxcarracer944 · Jan 10, 2009
