i got busy/lazy and never called them. it looks fine so it's not a crisis, so i'll have to be extra focused to call and see what i can get done about it... i'll update since it seems like i've grown a minute following on people who are interested in maaco

i would, but i don't really think i'm going to be driving it down there, as i'm going down to visit family and bringing my clan with me. i'll very likely be driving my wife's x3, you could see that if you want lol...
if i do randomly decide to drive it i'll definitely hit you up. i was planning on a trip down there just by myself to get away from all this snow up here, and then i would be driving it down. probably spring/summertime though... maybe i'll coordinate it with a meet or something.

If paint shops that have been in business for 20+ years recommend Maaco for certain applications then affordable paint jobs might just have their place in auto body...
exact same thing happened to me. they specifically mentioned, for an older car that isn't imperative to have a spectacular paint job, maaco actually does ok work. and that's exactly what happened, save the moldings, which are growing on me.
