Like on thier commercials....its really cheap but are hey any good?? anybody have any experience with this?

i have an older car that needs a new paint job

 

CHEAP/FAST.....not good...... depends if it's a beater car or your CLS. If it's for a crap car then go for it.

 

I heard good & bad things about them. Mostly bad things. Like paint peeling after a year, bad overall painting. It's really a toss up. Depends on the shop, & the paint used.

 

My parents used Maaco to do their car a while back (5 years?) and I can say that the paint did peel after about 1.5 years, and it looked okay at best when they first got it done. But it was cheap, and it was fast.

 

the paint in no way sucks, I got my car painted their about 2 years ago and it still looks great. I got the best paint job which comes with a 4year warranty against fading, peeling, etc. I was my car every 2 weeks, and have never waxed it. And the paint still shines like the first day I got it back. For $400 this is definately a good paint job. I got mine painted in Hollywood, FL.

 

Is anything that cheap ever good?

 

I had my 92 Accord painted by Earl Scheib for like $400 with a full metallic charcoal paint (w/ clear coat). The results were decent. It was surely better than the massive chipped and faded paint from prior. This was about 3 years ago, and the paint is still holding up despite some chips.

 

it depends...i think it is only good to old cars...as maaco does paint over on your exisiting paint...the result will make the new paint look thicker...but it is cheap lol...i will not recommend on your cls..

 

its for an older car (95)
the paint is peeling off it and it looks like its getting bigger and bigger , but i will be selling the car by next year and i just wanted to get its value up.
...
lets put it this way...the car has black paint and the whole roof is turning into a dark greyish color.....i even used regular black spray paint on it to cover it up.....i'm guessing it cant get much worst for the car

 

If you want it down right..then do it yourself....go remove all your old paint....scrape off all rust....primer it a couple of times...and then bring it to Maaco or Earl Schieb....simple.

 

If it's a beater your planning on just painting and selling and your on a budget then Maaco will work. but I've talked with a couple guys and saw their cars they even said the paintjob stinks. just I wouldn't tell the buyer who painted it. the good/bad part is it's fast(the good part to that is it isn't in the service bay forever but on the flip side sometimes they "cut corners" to shave off time and in turn it looks like a retard painted your car

 

You know the old saying, 'You get what you pay for'....

If the car is not worth very much, then I can see putting a cheap paint job on it...

 

nope nope nope....my friend got his thrugh maaco and it sucked plus it had runs and it all wasnt glossy some places were dull some were shiny and they ask you all kinds of personal ??? and my friends 98 blazer was stolen 2 weels later come to find out maaco was behind it all!!!

 

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!

 

yep well put!!!

 

maaco

 

I wouldn't recommend Maaco unless your painting a beater. But then again, why would you paint a beater.
