Default maaco paint job...teh sh*t!

Just got my teg back from maaco...and it actually looks great! You cant tell from the pics but it is very shiny, no fish eyes. The color is champ white. When I have a chance to take better pics I will post them up but this is all I have so far...its very dark out.

Anyway, I did the body work myself and primered the car...they did everything else for $500 said and done, 2 year warranty. PS, sorry for the big *** pic.

yea they did paint the grill...i need to repaint that black...like i said this is a shitty pic ill post more when i have time (hopefully tomorrow). Btw I wasnt looking for a show quality job, hence the reason I chose Maaco. Hell I only paid 1200 for the car no sense in spending more on the paint than the car. Its my DD.

Huh it does look that way...there is none on the wipers though i think that was a reflection or something. fender liner can be easily painted over...

I just wanted people to see they can do a decent job for 500 bucks...i mean of course they arent going to spend many hours on masking, etc for that price...so roll on the floor all you want.
