Ive seen some Macco stuff that look OK, and some that looks terrible. Ive seen nothing GREAT.

Seems to me thier absolute BEST is just a bit below "good".

I agree...The thing about Maaco is that they have levels of quality. Your entry level package would be single stage paint. The next level up would be a cheap basecoat/clearcoat system, and their top level is a better line of basecoat/clearcoat, with a little more effort put into the prep work. That's basically how they laid it all out for me when I had my body kit painted there way back in '03 before I went to school for autobody.

Put it this way, I thought they did a nice job until I went to school for collision repair and learned how to really look at body/paint work. Then I could see all the flaws and crap, and wasn't real impressed.

I got a jeep painted there about 7 years ago. As soon as i got it home and checked it out i noticed a lot of little obvious spots where they missed. Bad tape job. The paint started to flake and chip with in a month. Only reason i would get car painted at macco is if you plan on selling it right away lol.

fuckin A... WORD to this guy!! at least someone understands..
thx for the back up i felt alone on this one

i don't have first hand experience with them, but from what i hear, it's bad.

i personally think they get allot of their business from people who are trying to get more for the car they are selling, so they want something cheap to make the car seem to be in better condition. and could care less about how well it lasts for the next owner.

i think i'd paint my car with duplicolor rattle cans before i'd go to macco.
i imagine cost wouldn't be to different.
and at least with those, some patience, and care, you could get a nice quality finish.
