Super clean! Way better looking than what I would expect from a Maaco job. I've been thinking about paint for mine as well! Grats man!

It looks great man, did you do the bodywork/prep? Did you tape it yourself? I've heard that if using Macco that's the only way to get it decent.

I was curious about what all needs to be done prior to Maaco myself... cause I have a '91 I want to get repainted.

if u have maaco do the bodywork, then the paintjob will look horrible and they charge out the ass for bodywork..

most anyone could paint a car. its all in the right settings on the gun and mixing the paint right, so its pretty hard to f**k up a respray.

do the bodywork urself and dont rush it, and u will be good to go..

OP, car looks good. i would stay away from rotas imo

I've heard many of horror stories about Maaco paint jobs. Yours look like it came out nice. Did you do the prep yourself?

they did the prep themself. i mean i would of but i got no time....workin 6 day a week. 12shfit. but yeah they have the prep done for me its the supreme speical (1000 service) for only 520 out the door. although ive seen a few drip on the sideskirt but who cares.. =D and why stay away from rota? Jmag? same thing as Drag Dr27...

Sideskirts are hideous. Ohhh and can't really tell how the paint looks since the pics were taken with a 2.3? megapixel camera. At least it has a warranty...

Looks like a decent spray job. Can't beat that price either. How did you talk them down on the price? As far as rims, most everyone has cookie cutter bullshit lately. I'd rather see that thing on some old school rims. I like what your sitting on now>rotas,drag,ect.
