Agreed just trying to get my mustang one colorJust remember, you get what you pay for.
Let me know how they do, I cracked and chipped the paint in my hood pretty damn good and was debating bringing it to maaco to have it resprayedAgreed just trying to get my mustang one color
Grind it down, than feather edge it with some 180 than put a little bondo or body filler on it sand that down and a few of them look like you could just use finish plastic. An those side Scoourts all do that
Maaco is notorious for their poor quality work. Their goal is to crank as many cars through as quick as possible. It wont last long, look poor, and make a better paint job in the future much more expensive.
I just had mine painted and am very happy that I spent the money and did it right.
Mine heart hearts just thinking about an 800 paint job. Just google maaco. 90% of the stuff youll find is quite negative. Even their 2400.00 platinum job is very sub par.
Have you checked a reputable paint shop in your area for an estimate? That would be a very good idea.

Wanna sell your bulit rims on the white mustang?
My friend was estimated 3000$ from the best body shop in my area and that was just the outside in a stock color no engine bay, no door trims nothing else but its flawless and has a lifetime warranty i would wait and save up it will be worth it in the long run if your planning on keeping your car for awhile.

If you cant afford to do it right the first time, then you cant afford to do it twice!
I just painted mine also, I did all the work and my brother sprayed it for me. I put almost 1300.00 just in material. No labor. My paint was 437.00 just for the paint, so you are just getting what you pay for. Her Is a pic of mine.
