Cheap Maaco Paint Job $$?

Hey all...i wanna repaint my car as well...see sig... lol
i was considering Maaco and Earl Scheib for cheapness, but i hear they jack the prices up. with other services, and dent removal.
My mechanic says he'll do my entire car for $1500....and make the car look NEW. ive see his work...not too shabby...but id want him to paint as much car as possible...like the inside of the doors frame..., inside of the trunk....hood...bumpers(DX), mirrors...alll of it, lol
And after asking around....yea, the maaco sounds like they suck. a lot.
and if you are looking to keep a car for the long term....go all out.
If u wanna get the car looking ok for a year or two...cheap out..
and if u wanna really bum it out...unpainted baby!!! check out my Faux Carbon Fiber Hood(primed), lolSold my baby
saving for an Sc300!!!

I feel like I'm talking to a wall...
Mine still looked new after 2 years. Find a good Maaco, and the work will be decent.
Still, if you can get the car returned to a new appearance, meaning all flaws removed and everything repainted for $1500, that's a hell of a deal. Having Maaco do that would probably be more.

AGAIN... it depends on where you go. Not all Maaco shops are created equal.
That's like saying "don't take your car to a mechanic! i took my car to a mechanic once and he broke everything. all mechanics are idiots that know nothing about cars!"

Wanna give props on your ride. I never liked hoodscoops or invader style hoods on CB7's but you pulled it off really good!!! I actually like it! Your car reminds me of my friends retired AE92 with a supercharged levin motor. The jdm hood had a hoodscoop very similar in design.
Is a turbo in your future? That would look uber sexy if you swap in a K23 turbo motor in there The oem top-mount intercooler would function really well......
His car looked similar to this: Corolla GT-S coupe "ae92 GT-Z"
Hmm...
