you def get what you pay for with paint work. I wouldnt really say macco sucks for painting, but they dont do much for the prep work. the majority of how well the paints going to hold up is in how good the prep work is. i had work done on my max years ago and while the paint didnt look bad you could see almost every sanding marks everywhere. i ended up having to get it redone and prob ended up costing me twice as much if i would have just done it right the first time.

 

Has anybody prepped their car before they brought it to MAACO?

 

You'd probably be better off doing that. Either way its crappy worksmanship.

 

if its a friend of yours that works at maaco, y not have him do any bodywork/prep prior to bringing it to be painted. thatll save you some aggravation, plus if he's anyone at maaco then he could make sure your car comes out nice.

to do a real repaint will be over 3k at any reputable place with a warrantee.

 

no im just thinking about keeping it gold

 

I still can't believe you paid for that

 

NO! Look at my car and you will see a a horrible paint job. Mine wasn't painted at Macco though. I don't know where it was painted.

 

yeah whats that all about

 

my cousin works at macco. He's a master at body work/painting. He even say don't go there.

He charges less and only gives perfection (in his garage). but at work, well... he does what he gets paid to do, quick cheap work.

so once again to NO
