Mexico paintjob – body work

I have heard of people taking their cars down to Mexico and getting them painted / cleaned up. I am just wondering if anyone off of h-t has done this. Experiences and advice would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have a recommendation that would be cool. I am not looking for show quality – just something decent “better then Maaco but around the same price”.

 

you sure you want to take it to mexico? diy it.

 

hmmmm just go to a better shop then macco, with all the gas, food and everything your gonna need to get to mexico, just better off going to some local place where they do better jobs...

Are you serious? In that case I will see what my friend knows – my boy is in evil.

Mexico is close as hell to us in San Diego – just get Mexico insurance and keep an eye on your car. That’s why I am looking for recommendations – I know one guy lives down there who posts here but I forgot his user name. When I used to work at the car audio store tons of Navy guys with mostly “show looking but clean” cars said they got the work done in Mexico for cheap. I am not taking anything really expensive down there – see my signature.

 

i did my previous car in mex...they suck, trust me. bondo and overspray

 

Painting your car in Mexico, is the same way it is in the United States. I've seen some lowriders painted in Mexico that look like glass, unbeleivable quality. Others I've seen look like Maaco.
You get what you pay for.
