The original 19y.o. paint on my pony finally started tapping out. After a lot of research concerning paint shops, paint woes, and prices I decided to give Maaco a shot regardless of some horror stories I read.
I thought that the job would revolve around a few key considerations: shop care, amount of pressure, me not being cheap. Therefore, I found a local Maaco that had been a mom/pop paint shop for 38 years before being bought out. I told them to take their time (I left them alone until they were done), and I bought their top package. I'm quite pleased with the results. The before & after pics are below.
I ordered a color change, door jams, trunk jams, under hood, install head lights & tail lights, fix 2 door dings, paint & install wing, 3 coats of red, base/clear, sealer, UV protection, additional high performance clear coat, color sand & buff, 5 year warranty = $1750.
