Some Maaco's can do a good job. I would not go in asking for a cheap paint job. I would want it prepped correctly and I would remove all the trim so they didn't have to. And I would pay for good paint.

Your car looks pretty good but you can usually tell a Maaco or Earl Scheib job by the paint on the muffler tips. They're so "fast" they can't even cover those. Maybe they just use a giant dip tank and then scrape off the windows?

The money is in the prep, not the paint. Painting is the easy part.

Car looks great. Did they remove the emblems prior to painting? Especially the ones on the trunklid.

I'm kinda interested in how his seats came out!

The paint job doesn't look bad at all but I wonder if this guy is still active. Moshi moshi, McFly?!

Seriously considering a budget paint job like this along with prepping/stripping myself prior.
