well im stuck in the middle.. i wrecked my car i already have a @!#$ load of money into it and i want to sell it anyway. I had a guy lined up for cheap who took more then half of the money and @!#$d me over.. i realllyy dont wanna put more money into the car i want to get it fixed and SOLD!!.. so i was wondering if macco paint would look reallllyy @!#$ty?.. or wut to expcet as long as it looks decent i dont really give 2 @!#$s.. cuz i just wanna get rid of it.. does anyone have pix or anything of the cheap maaco paint? I would imagne its more because my paint is metallic too..that cheap macco paint job would probably add up in the end.. anyway any insight is apperciated thanx
I had them paint a F150 I fixed up. I already primed and preped it than they painted it. I also Paid extra for them to wet sand it and an extra coat of clear. Came out pretty sweet.
But I did al the prep work. If your just going to sell it anyway, Id have them do it.
how much did they charge u.. my @!#$ is metallic and all this @!#$.. im wondering if it would add up in the end to a reg. paint job
they did a pretty @!#$ty job on my friend's jetta but...you get what you pay for
It's definitely on the "cheap" end of paint work... and definitely....

If you're going for show-car quality... you aren't going to get it at Wal-Mart prices.

they repainted my whole daytona from white to black, that included the hatch, doors and asmuch underhood as they could, it came to like just over $800 and lasted maybe a year... but thats cuz i got them to just fiberglass over some rust insted of welding in new metal... the paint chipped bad in the hatch area, but other than that it was ok....

they lay a great paintjob, just there prep works sucks which basically means it won't last, but if you're selling it, it would be fine, no reaosn to send it to chip foose to paint it if your selling it now.

I have seen good results, and bad results, but either way, the prep work did suck, and the paint started to flake off eventually around anywhere it was difficult to sand around. Like around the door handles, antenna, emblems, keyholes, etc.

My father in law had his 1965 Ford Galaxie painted by them, and it is a crappy job. They broke some of the lettering and got alot of overspray on his chrome exhaust tips. Looks good from 20 feet back but as you get closer it starts lookin bad.
