Default Re: paint decision e36 m3/pre-stage build thread

yep, everytime we get a car thats been painted at maaco, we have to strip the car completely down cause as soon as you start sanding, everything just falls off. You cant feather anything out cause nothing underneath was prepped enough and even the pre cleaner starts to react with the paint, its stupid an we charge a grand to strip the car, etch prime it, urethane it and then start the body process.Duane we have this integra in the shop right now that was painted at maaco, holy crap, they tried to fix the quarter panel on it. It literally, and Im not exagerating here, had 6 inches of bondo on it. 6 FREAKING INCHES, I mean they didnt even try to pull the panel out at all, just slapped some mud on there and kept going with it, it was ridiculous. We ended up just cutting the entire panel off and putting a new one on. and of course you know how there paint jobs look, just absolutely terrilble, 36 grit scratches everywhere, fisheye and dirt all over the place, so tetury a roll on paint job would look better. I guess some people just dont care as long as it costs 4 dollars to paint a car, ha.
