Wow, good thread.

I love the color and to tell you the truth, Ma'aco (how they say it here!) looked like they did a pretty decent job for you. They have been hit or miss with my experiences.

Nice looking ride there brother.

 

Thanks a lot, bro. Yeah not every Maaco is the same, it's like going to Mc Donalds. You go to one that serves nice fresh burgers and the other one down the street serves crappy burgers.

 

EXACTLY!

 

Looks like it turned out pretty well. Now for the real Maaco test; the 6-12 month test. If it still looks good and the work holds it's integrity after a year then they went above and beyond typical Maaco standards. Congrats on getting her back though man. She's definitely looking fly.

 

So far the paint seems to be curing fine, only issue I have is with the hood. Have these spots on it.

 

Have you contacted them about it?

 

honestly that is a small overspray, I mean people aren't going to look that close into the paint. I wouldn't bother with it... they may even take the car for a month again just to paint that small spot again. just remember it could of been way worse.

 

Yeah the manager said to bring the car in a few days to fix the hood.

 

Lol. Thats my only fear, Josh. My car trapped in that shop again. Had to deal with my registration and state emissions all at once, that's how long the car was in the shop. I'm usually up to date with my cars needs.

 

yeh u never know. u probably got lucky with the paint they did, they can maybe mess up with a "quick" job for the hood and make the paint worse than it was before, so just sayin.

its a nice paint overall, should look at it that way.

 

take the hood off and take it to them lol
at least they won't overspray on other panels that way, and you'll get more cold air haha

 

Didn't help you washed it right away.

I'm surprised they didn't tell you to wait a week or two.

 

Lol. My friends and coworkers told me to do that. Yeah these guys hold the car for weeks before they do something to the car.

 

Never washed it just sprayed it down with water.
