Default my new paint job!! @ 1 Day Paint and Body (macco). EG hatch. 56K no!!!

cost me $388 bucks. i did the body work like dings and stuff, when i took it in, they sanded, primered the whole car, taped and sprayed... the results.....

when i first had it.





then sanded and did body work











then i got it back from the paint shop








then put back together










pics kinda suck, but the car came out clean for wat i paid. no runs or bubbles or anything. feel free to leave feedback.

Not bad. Your car would look nicer if the grills weren't painted white.

i think the job came out ok for that enamel 1 step. I did my red EG beater and i keep getting complements on it. "Maaco did that **** whoa that is actually nice" what i hear all the time.

Honestly, for the money you paid and from what I can see in the pictures, your paint job came our real good Only thing you need to go back and do is fix your front bumper (they painted the three grilles white. If your car is a 92-93 paint all three grilles black, if its a 94-95, paint just the middle grille black).
