I am taking my car to Maaco at the end of the month and I will be taking my Integra to a shop which is owned by a friend of my father's. At the shop the car will be prepared for paint. My question is how do i tell if the car is ready for paint or not? And what should i get done from there. I'm assuming the car should be sanded down a couple of times and then primed. Any suggestions?

 

Well the body shop should tell u it's ready

 

a billion threads on this matter.

 

:ygh:

dont take your car to maaco!

read up on the thread about theire crappy jobs. you paint will start pealing fast! just have your friends dad paint it.

 

yeah i think i'll just get it painted from the same place i will get the prep work done from. I didnt want to get it painted from there because they screwed up on my older brother's 240.
