Re: Maaco Paint Jobs!? (HYBRID FREAK)
I've never had a macco job but i'm having mine painted on thursday as well. Look around a lot before you take the easy commercial way out. I've got a private painter doing my DC for $1200 which includes a new hood, rust removal, and repaired front end. Although i've heard good things about macco, you could most likely get a better job for the same price rance.

Here is mine. I paid 800 for it. Not bad. But a couple hundred more you can a way better paint job. Probably you are getting the integrated clear coat. It looks great during the day but when it's dark it looks dull...

Re: (Sic_DC_FOE)
ive heard and seen too many maaco stories. its only a bit more to get a way better lasting paint job. my homies that went to a better place got thier moneys worth. i know 2 homies who painted ej's, one went to maaco. his paint alreadi fading n ****. other homie paid like 400 more but got dents pulled out, new trims, much thicker paint and ***** no where near fading. if your gonna throw a couple hundred up for a paint, you might as well get a nice one. itll pay off in the long run

I'm planning on getting my 91 Civic Si hatchback painted. i was wondering if that 500 dollar paint job was including dings and small dents. Was prep included with this 500 dollar paint?

Re: Maaco Paint Jobs!? (SiR Inspired ED7)
NO its not. If you want to get an idea bout it. The rex that you sold me is $900 in body work alone at maaco. Maaco charges like $100 for each door jam and openings. But every maaco differs. My last rex I paid $1050 for paint and bodywork and it came out pretty good. Just expect overspray and some orange peel.
