I wanna body kit and paint my ****.

i'll probably go with some crap off ebay for the kit

but as for the paint, does Makko do bomb work/are they worth the money?

do they do custom molding work as well?

thanks for the help.

 

i've seen a maaco job and they suck, runs, poor taping and such. you get what you pay for

 

Many places such as Maaco can spray well, but I would do ALL the prep work yourself. Keep in mind, when you get a complete paint job for a bargain price, it will show in the end product. They do have good facilities thou, I would be very upfront with your expectations before hand.

appreciate the help.

 

My uncle owns a macco and honestly it comes down to if they are busy or not and if they take there time. I've seen good and bad work. It's a chance

 

i havent seen much good work come out of macco. invest in your own tools and do it yourself .

 

True if you want it done right do it yourself. It does take practice though to get good so trial and error is usually the best teacher

 

maaco paint, my prep... it all depends on the shop and how well the prep was... if you know some body in the shop they will usually do a good job for you though

 

steer clear of body kits though, they usually dont fit well and molding them to the car to make them look seamless usually causes complications later down the road... like the **** cracking

 

lol..

moved to the appropriate forum

 

word, that red civic doesn't look bad at all,

and i'm not trying to get anything super clean, i just want a diff color and i heard macco was pretty cheap...

i may just decide to strip the **** and rattle can it piece by piece

thanks again for all the help.

 

The shitty part is, you'd be better off rattle can'in it yourself. As far as a picture of a maaco job, I could spray paint my civic with 90cent walmart spray paint, take a picture and have it look like a 3000dollar paint job, pictures are very good at hiding orange peel, fish eyes, bad prep work, and trash in the paint and clear coat. If you still considerin it, go to maaco and look at what they're putting out, thatll make your mind up for you. And also gunna agree on the body kit, stay away from them. Good luck with ur project man
