    and it came out really good. alot better than i expected, for the price that i paid im extremely satisfied. they took out a key scratch along the entire drivers side, no more faded clear which i had in a few spots, and it looks great. no runs anywhere actually the only issue is that theres a hole they left which is understandable because i didnt even know it was there and i didnt pay for them to fix it so that will get taken care of in the future. other than that im really satisfied and just wanted to show how it came out, its also warrantied for a year.

    Hopefully it will still look good a year from now but Im confident it will as long as I keep it waxed. Regardless it looks much better than it did before

    Keeping it waxed won't keep paint from chipping, flaking, and peeling. You couldn't PAY ME, to let Maaco touch me cars.

    Yeah I know, but Im also in high school and dont have money for anything more expensive and its not worth it on a car thats 16 years old with 133k miles on it. I was just looking for something to make it look better for another year or two, if I get that out of it Ill be happy.

    I would like some close up shots around the window trim, in the door jambs and underneath. Typically their masking and prep work is terrible. From here it looks good, but the pics aren't close enough to really tell.

    Any overspray is too much overspray. It shows their lack of attention to detail and lack of proper prep. Proper prep is HUGE when it comes to a lasting paint job.

    Depends on what he paid, if the paint was effed I'm sure maaco improved on it. He seems to love it so that's a win in my book. Any more pics? I've always wondered if the rumors were true.

    Which Maaco in MI? We recently had a 15 month battle with one around here.... What a joke they were...
    2004 Comp G "The Panda"- low, e85, big brakes SOLD
    2002 Trans Am- 6 speed, bolt ons or something, it's slow.
    2006 Silverado- forged ls2, 4l80e, plate kit, also slow...
