Re: maaco paint job for 1000$??
We had out car painted by Nftuatn and its awesome. Too many people are out looking for the cheap way to go about things.
I say go the cheap route it makes people feel better when they see you complain about your paint when you have to get it redone for another small amount of 1k.
You get what you pay for.

Re: maaco paint job for 1000$??
So let me also dispel some mis truths mentioned here to this point. I can't speak for every Maaco center or it's owner, just mine and myself. Our shop has been in business since 1984. We are the leading Maaco in Va and have been for years. We write more estimates than any other of the 500 Maaco centers in the chain. That alone speaks for our reputation. Many of my customers are referrals or repeat business. and my shop is usually in the top 25 centers in the chain.
As per 85_JSTANG
1) No we don't buy paint in 5 gallon pails. We use DuPont Chroma Base for our spot repairs Along with DuPonts Nason FulThane Urethane and Fulbase on our all over base/clears. I don't paint over rust.

Dude, you definitely don't know me. I'll agree, I can be an ass. Damn big one at times. But usually, only to the people that need it. I'm as easy going of a guy as it gets. And I do a lot for the local car scene. I was autocross chairman for SCCA ODR for 12 years, autocross organizer for NASA Mid Atlantic for Langley Speedway and trackside announce for Wacky Wednesdays at Langley. If your "friends" used to work for me, maybe that's why the prep work was "half ass". And maybe that why they "used" to work for me. We do put a lot of cars through, but not at the expense of a nice finish. I'd rather do a few less cars and have them look good. But seriously, show me you know me. I'm thinking you may be a little confused.

I should just let this go, but as you referred to me directly I will gladly answer;
I never said I know you personally... I said I’ve been around you on more than a few occasions, and I think you’re a high and mighty ass clown. I have been introduced to you before, I have raced with your son at Langley, both my girl and my brother have worked at the speedway for years, I’ve been in your autocross events, and I’ve been in and had work done in your shop before. Our paths have crossed many times.
I didn’t even mention in my first post (because I’m too lazy for this shit) about either me or my grandfathers separate bad personal experiences with your company.
And as for the "friends" I know that used to work for you... they left cause your pay was shit, and they moved on to better things…. Maybe that’s why your prep works shitty, “you get what you pay for” right?
At least that’s what was said to me(direct quote from an employee) after inquiring as to why after paying $600 I had overspray on my trim and side mirrors (supposed to be left black), muffler, and my wheels/tires.
I think the only person confused here is you…. As to the actual quality of work your shop puts out.
on another note... after hearing nothing but great things about nftuatns' work, and personally seeing tims crx before and after the color change; i hope to get my current project over to him sometime this year. nevermind the fact that his prices are very reasonable.
edit: sorry, no palm trees
