Hey guys,

Need some advice from you maxima owners out there. I own a 97 black maxima gle that has got a few scratches and is fading in shine. do you recommend re-paint job? how about maaco's ambassador paint service?

any other recs?

 

Don't go to Maaco, the paint will look like crap! Just take the car to a good detaling shop.

 

NO stay far far away from maaco. steer everyone you know away from maaco. the paaint is horrible and he is right a good detailing shop and touch up you should be goood. and touch up doesn't stand out as much on black...btw we have the same car \

peace

ive seen plenty of paint jobs from maaco that turned out horrible..my buddy got his car done and it looks worse then original...

 

of course it looks worse then original. They only put like 1 - 2 coats and it costs like 1/5 of what a good paint job costs. Its not that maaco paint looks entirely horrible. WHen you first see it you say that looks ok, but then 3 weeks later its starts chipping left and right and starts to fade and looks like horse ****. Either pay 1500-2000 to ahve it done right or forget about it, unless you don't mind going back and having maaco repaint every 3 months.

 

I had an 91 accord for a while before i got my max, and i needed a new paint job. I took my car to macco thinking how great of a price it was. Ever heard the saying ( you get , what you pay for) it is true. It was crap! I looked cheap and it faded in about 7 months. I urge you to stay away. It will cost more at a better place, but trust me it is worth it.

 

go to a reputable body shop and request to have you maxima painted with PPG. i heard that stuff is like rock solid against chips and road debris.

 

Too bad you don't live around me...I would be glad to detail your car.

 

I hear that DuPonte and Sickens are good paints too
