Macco

[Todds91]

I was gonna have Macco Respray my car the stock gold has anyone ever used macco? And if so what did the final product look like?

[ohdengitzpat]

personally i've heard nothing but bad things from macco. paint isnt that good of quality, chips after a while, etc. but its ur gamble. my friend got his done from a local paint shop in VA and turned out great

You get what you pay for.

I've had mine done twice. Maaco is the name, not macco.

Anyway, the quality is just fine for a car that gets driven regularly. I wasn't pleased with their bodywork, though. All Maaco shops are franchises, so be sure to do your homework on them. They differ vastly from shop to shop.

[Todds91]

The only reson i thought macco is because they quoted me a price of $713 and i have a friend who owns a bodys shop and they said because of the size of the Accords there price was like $1700

Had my accord painted there, turned out pretty good... at first. Shortly after the front of the car started getting chips from rocks and what not, rest of the car was pretty nice though. I had little overspray and pretty good body work

my boy took his 94 accord(cd5) to repaint his whole car and they did a pretty good job.....it came out pretty nice for a 400 dollar paintjob....

are you a picky person? or do you just want your car to look new/shiny/clean from a few feet away?

[91accord4door]

unless im blind your paint looks good.....you sure a good buff/wax wont make your car look great? not even a speck of rust from what i can see.

my dad has his car repainted for good price and its good

[Todds91]

its the camra my pain is very Sun beat & faded lol

[g$up]

i got my car painted at maaco just cuz i knew the guy doing it. I did all the prep work myself. All i got them to do was clean it and paint it. I was going to originally do it myself using their booth but they told me i was gonna screw up for sure.

again make sure you know how good of a job that maaco does. each will be different, which has been mentioned above.

some pics in my other thread if u wanna check it out.

Their paint work isn't terrible. Their bodywork and prep work is terrible, which is why most of their paint jobs don't last very long. If you do your own prep work, and you do it right, a paint job from Maaco can last for years.

that is so true

The general consensus is prep work makes the paint job. Of all these threads you usually have people who got good and bad from them. IMO your best bet would be to find one of the better locations then strip it and do the prep work on your own. Order as many coats of clear coat as you can.
