does meico or how ever you spell it do shitty jobs becuase they seem to be very cheap?

yup.there is one like 299 or something for ambassedor paint job but when u read it in the newspaper its clearly says 1 year warrenty!they have one for 400-500$ that lasts 4 years,i might get that

The ONLY way that I would trust Maaco is if I did the prep work myself (sanding, masking, etc) and drove the car there on a trailer for them to spray the primer and paint. I think that they skimp out on the prep work and that makes the paint look bad and not stick worth s---. Plus, I am not sure if they include a clearcoat with that price. If so, it would be only 1 coat.

For the the ambassidor paint job, they wont go down to bare metal, they'll just strip the clear coat off the paint thats all ready on there and then paint over it, a clear coat is included, but its only like 1 coat.

wow that kinda sucks i think people would do a better job painting it themsleves. i say just save your $ until you get the money for a kicka$$ paint job !

how much is it for a really good paint job?macco has the cheap azz one for like 200$ but they have another one for 400$,is that one good?where should i go

Macco will also leave paint on your windows, trim, mirrors, wheels, tires, etc.

A really good paint job from Maaco with a 4 year warrenty is $700. I had a quote a couple months ago.

Maaco's paint jobs go from $249 up to a few grand, depending on what you want. The ambassador is the cheapest, hardly any work is done, from there up they will put more clear coats on, strip down to metal, etc.

Casino, I would try it myself, I dont really know where to start and what to do, plus I'm scared shitless and messing it up really bad.

Keep in mind those cheap paint jobs are not color changes. They will not do your door jams etc and they only offer that deal when business is slow. If you want a good quality paint job your looking at atleast a $1000 for a complete. I know a guy who got that cheap paint job on his swift he wanted orange so they did it just all the outer stuff, and now its peeling off literally and yea can see the original blue everywhere. If you want to do it yourself it is a LOT of work and really only worth it if you can get access to the tools.

Yeah, well the guy at the Maaco here said I could have any color I wanted as long as it stayed within a blue and green category, which gave me like 15-20 colors to choose from, but if you want some outrageous, then thats gonna jack the price up a lot.
