Okay guys, I am thinking about getting a paint job from Maaco. I know all the rumors about it, but I know a few people that have gotten it done there, and they say as long as the car is prepped very well I should be fine.
What I was wondering is what is the difference between Urethane Enamel and Synthetic Enamel? Thanks in advance. BTW: I plan on doing the Indigo Ink Pearl from lexus/toyota Paint This post has been edited by mjmsoccer: Jan 17, 2005 - 5:06 PM |

Toy: I was told all I needed to do was rough sand it using 80 grit by a guy who does some custom painting, and I hit the edges and lines with 220 because I heard thats where Maaco really slacks and causes the orange peels. BTW: Your paint job looks great, awesome color too.
Blinky: I was looking at the grey also, but I decided to stay blue so that I wouldn't have to paint the door jams and the engine bay. You wouldn't really notice the difference in the jams without looking pretty well. It is never going to be a show car, just a daily driver so I wasn't about to dump $1000+ into a $4000 car for paint. |
