Any advice with Maaco? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Thu Apr 14 06:50 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I'll agree with all the advice offered. If you do the prep, MAACO does a nice job of spraying paint. It's amazing how easy it is to remove bumpers, body trim, wipers, antenna, (you get the idea). A local restoration shop (charges $10-12 GRAND for a top job...not on my car!) gave me a couple of hints. Take a piece of clothesline and run it under the rubber seal abound the windshield and back window. It lifts the seal a little and avoids the ridge that is such a repaint giveaway. I have had 5 cars painted by the same local MAACO shop and am pleased with the results. February is the best sale here in the Northeast since they are not too busy. MAACO shops are locally owned so results can vary by location.
