Has anyone ever gotten a paint job there… I know you get what you pay for but I was wondering if anyone has had any first hand experience, I want to take my winter beater for a paint job. btw I was quoted 899+tax (includes fixing a bit of surface rust) was also told 1 coat of primer 3 coats of paint…and something about the clear will be mixed to the las coat of paint. Or if anyone knows of another place with roughly the same price range thanks ---

there is also Maaco at around the same price range. Dont know which one is better tho. I am thinking of trying one of these guys out too. u might be able to bring the price down more if you prep it yourself. ---

Not that I know to much about paint lol…It all depends what your looking for! From Maaco or other budget paint jobs you can’t expect a flawless job…most will just use filler opposed to fixing the panels properly. If your spending 2500 or less that’s pretty much what your going to get! ---

I honestly don’t see what’s so bad about maaco. Unless your building a show car 240…why would you spend more on a paint job than you did on the car itself. ---

^^ true that. spending 3g on a paintjob for a car thats not even worth 3gs is a fallacy. maybe baller but who cares. when its time to sell u dont get a penny for it either. ---
