Default Re: maaco paint job for 1000$??

maccodale

ive seen alot of macco jobs fade and chip after a year, also seen people take it back and for some 'reason' they void the warranty and they are screwed.

yes, if u want a cheap quick paintjob, go ahead to macco, but you get what u pay for. If u want a nice slick finish then u need to spend more money. and i know PERSONALLY that macco (not sure which one) paints over rust, or did. my grandpas ford truck was painted there a few years ago. after about 16 months you could see the rust popping back out and see 'rust bubbles' in the paint.

now im not downing all macco shops, i guess if u kno the painter than hey its ok, jus as long as you know what yours getting, i just dont want people thinking they will get this flawless, show-car paint job for 1k.

and for the paint in 5gal drums, ive been told by several people who deliver to macco that they buy the cheap paint in drums, they may be wrong and that ok, im jus sharing my info, thats what forums are for.

anyone going to macco i really hope it turns out for you, personally i would prefer spending a lil more and gettng a better job.

goodluck
