Re: Looking for Appearance Tips
I have dyed my dash in my 93 but I ended up going with a special mix. I went to a place called Sturdevants here in town. I found the color that my dash is from their interior color scheme book. They took the code and then custom mixed me a spray can. It ended up costing me just a hair over 12 bucks with tax. But, it sprays nice and works good. Now.....time will just tell about the durability.
As for the cheap paint shops, everyone has told you no. And Maaco is no exception on that! I had my Cutlass painted there. It was almost a 1,000 job and I had stripped the car to bare metal, had all the chrome, lights, bumpers, etc removed. All they needed to do was shoot it. For almost 1,000 I am so displeased with the paint job. It at least isn't flaking yet, but if you get a door ding, it cracks like it is 100 years old. Then you can chip off the paint after that. It's bad! At least it is still shiny though! But now whenever I get to repaint it, I will need to strip it down to metal again to get this brittle crap off from it!
