it's finally time to fix the scratches and scrapes my sister made on my rear bumber during the winter....

so, does anybody know any good and i mean really good paint shop? i had a lil incident w/ my gf that required a paint job and sucked d!ck. didn't even notice until the sun shined on it. worst paint job ever. probably his first time painting.

i'm wondering, why doens't everybody recommend Maacco? they look really state-of-the-art now. i read the three choices for paint process, and ofcourse the most expensive one was the best. said it would strip, then paint, and clear coat. and then bake. the lady who worked there, had her car painted, she owend an 2001 TL, i think the color was naples gold, or heather mist. but she claimed she apinted the rear bumper. if they did paint it , it looked great. but i have a feeling she's just lying. cause it really did look original - probably didn't apint it at all... so ... does anybody recommend any shops in the lowell/boston area and tell me more about Maacco.

DBA Auto Body in East Walpole. They do amazing work. My Infiniti was vandalized a few years ago and had to have some paint work done. Now it looks so good not even other trained body shop people can tell for sure if there has been work done. I would recommend them for any bodywork on any car.

Maaco sucks. Period.

i know a few places, but they are expensive b/c they mainly deal w/ insurance, and they're use to the $$$$... but i guess you get what you pay for... i'm just waiting for more money in my pocket..



one of them is CarStar on middlesex street. they repainted my car after an accident, it was amazing..shiny and new. i need my front and back bumper repainted, and they quoted me 7-850 just for the BACk.
