what do you guys think about maaco usa? i might need a paint job or at least the hood, maaco is only like 500 dollars but is it crap or what?

 

For body work you get what you pay for man. I've seen some good maaco jobs but some that are worth what they paid...

 

If your car is a solid plain color (white, black, red, etc) with no metallic or special sh**, then Maaco COULD be okay, anything other color--forget about it. Spend a couple of hundred dollars more (save for an extra month or something) and feel good about the money your throwing down. Check with buddies and people you know, they may know a bodyshop that has good prices.

Piece of advice, ask to see some of their recent jobs that are still in the lot, and examine to see if you like the finished product (good indicator of job quality)

 

+1 for good advice.

 

My brother-in-law got a maaco paint job on his Maxima...it looks like ***. Then again he only paid $300 for it.

 

u get what u pay for.......

again u get what u pay for

NO NO NO you will be fucked and the paint will be gone in a year, they use cheap **** and i gaurentee you that it will be oxidized within a year becasue of the products they use, save your car and dont do it

 

how much does a decent paint job usually run? like 1600 or so right? maybe more

 

A good paint job (done right) should be maybe $5000? Correct me if I'm wrong...
