My friend once got his car painted there and when he got it back it looked nice until he took his license plate off he discovered that those lazy bastards had taped it and painted over it. Take off your plate and make sure it's painted under.

There are a ton of stories about maaco. I have one myself.

Would like to see more pictures.

I heard that the lowest level paint job is bad. But if you pay the 1000 for the prep and all, that it's not half bad.

Looks pretty good... what services did you pay for exactly? Did you do any prep yourself first?
