has anyone ever taken up and tried maaco for their $149 winter special paint job? Or does anyone know anyone who has had it Im sure it is probably one coat of paint, but it could make the car shine more. And btw, it is not me, it is for a friend. (my probe deserves better). Peace, Evan

Ive had the "special paint" from maaco and was surprised that it came out so good,I also went with thwe exstensive prep package, I think that this was the main factor

3 yrs ago I got a Maaco job on my 1985 Nissan King Cab 4X4. It was originally Mint White, but over the years of playing in the lovely Texas clay and mud, it had actually STAINED the white paint with an orange hue. I got the "Ambassador's Special", like $250 with the clear coat. And the truck actually looked pretty good after the paint job. BUT. . . . I recommend that if you do use Maaco follow these rules: 1) Always stay the same color. Don't trust them to go from your red car to a blue car, or whatever. 2) WASH IT FIRST! ! ! ! They actually painted over some mud on the lower 1/4 panel of my truck. 3) Remover everything you can as far as trim, headlights, tail lights, accessories, and I recommend that you mask off the rubber window moldings and any trim as well. They may give you a lower price if you do this as well. That way, all they have to do is shoot it. I believe that this will give you the best outcome.

I just had my car painted black at macco and i must say that the messed my car up pretty bad. It looks like they kept applying more coats without letting the previous coats dry. Its a very dull looking black. I had one of the best packages offered from them. I wouldn't recomend macco to anyone.

dont take it there......they paint over EVERYTHING and they don't do the door jams so if they were to go there they better not get a different color then the one already on the car. just my 2 cents jay 93 se

One coat of clearcoat is needed.

yeah thats what they told me. they said to bring my car back and they were gonna try to rub it out and if they couldn't do anything with that they're gonna charge me 100 for another clear coat. Brian 93pgt
