Man, I went to maaco to get a quote on a paint job on a 4 piece body kit(not the whole car) and to remove a SLIGHT dent in my door he definatley quoted $1100!!! I luaghed and said thanks but no thanks. Id rather buy 30 cans of spray paint and a Ding King and call it a day. biggrin.gif Just a heads up, they wanted blood.

Just for the record... the quality of a paint job usually comes down to the quality of the prep work... If a car is prepped properly, paint jobs done by those cheapo shops can turn out nice.

Maaco general doesn't prep a car very well, but I've heard of people prepping the car themselves and taking their car to Maaco with nice results.

Now if you're going to ask me how to prep a car or what needs to be prepped... then I'd recommend that you leave this up to a body shop that knows what they're doing. Otherwise, do some research on the subject or take an autobody class...
