I've read the horror stories of maaco, and I'm just wondering of what level paint job or service the maaco victims requested. I'm planning on getting my car painted there in the near future. I tend to buy their premium deal which includes prep work, choice of paint, an extra layer of high gloss and uv ray protectant coat, and a 5 year warranty for a total of little over 1,000 dollars. The problem though, is that if you do the prep work yourself, you are not eligible for that 5 year warranty..... that's weird in my opinion. But all in all, it sounds like a good deal hopefully. What do you guys think? I'd like to also hear from people who actually had the premium paint job at maaco.

(Coomer@Oct 28, 2004 - 10:29 PM) My idea is to save that thousand dollars, prep the car yourself, and buy a nice compressor, nice gun, good paint, and the necessary other stuff to paint a car, and then do it yourself. I'd much rather do that than have Maaco paint my car.



there is a good site to go to that would give you plenty of good pointers, ideas, and techniques on how to paint your own car. www.autobody101.com
it is a forum with plenty of experts and old guys who know what they are talking about. this is if you want to do it yourself of course.
