Re: Macco Paint?

A friend of mine years ago figured out Maaco paint jobs.So ha claims.He has had a couple (at least) done by them.He and another guy did the bodywork and final sanding.He started by talking with them about a year before he had the work done.Once in a while,he would stop by on Fri with a 12 pack for the painters and shop guys and shoot the breeze about paint.When he delivered the project,it had no trim,windows,or anything else and he had the edge taping done.He also had roller wheels on it.No interior.Neither of the ones I saw him get done were show quality but neither was over a grand.He didn't go for the cheapie but didn't pay for the premium paint job either.He did color sand and buff at least one but both were pretty nice for the money.He took a case of beer when he went to pick it up.

Re: Macco Paint?

I agree do all the prep yourself and make it as easy as possible for them. Remove door handles and everything so they less they have to mask, the better. Get it all sanded and ready to go so all they have to do is clean it and spray it. That will be the cheapest way possible. OR do it yourself for a couple hundred $ in materials. Just be sure to do lots of light coats that just barely cover the surface so u don't get runs. Painting is easy once you master the technique.
