well like the topic says......im planning to do all the prepwork myself and all that stuff...but i was wondering if they would paint my car if i bring my own paint in..because i want the color of the s2000 which i think the code is y52p .....people say this and that about maaco...but i really want to experience it myself with the paint that i bring in..to see how long will it really last...please let me know..thanks in advance

 

why don't you just call them and ask them if they'll do it?

maybe because it's not opened right now? and i would like to know right now....

 

i'll answer...

yes they will!

that way if they tell you no, when you have to ask anyway...you will say "i was told you would"

 

Have a local H-T member with paint/body experience do for you!! or also try calling some local paint/body shop and ask them!!
I dont trust macco much!!-just me though.

 

i have seen really good stuff from them and i have seen not so good stuff...depends on the painter and his work

 

true, but i think it'd be better if i bring in the paint because i heard that maaco buy their paint by the barrel or something..or some big case....and the quality of it is really shitty...because the clear coat is integrated...so that's why i was wondering if i could give them my paint and they spray it for me...maybe someone here knows...for sure...thanks

they use single stage paint, the shittest quality possible. just remember though, if you use a base coat and clear coat it'll be at least twice as much labor, which means double the price.

 

civicdxtyper is exactly right.

By the time you add up just the labor cost from them, you could have it painted by a 'real' shop. Especially if you're gonna do all the prep work AND buy the paint...screw maaco!

very true! earl schieb and maaco both uses single stage paint which means that the color and clear is mixed together instead of other paint which requires a base coat then the clear.

i wouldnt trust them painting my car. some on here might be local and probably paint it for a fraction.

 

would not trust macco cause of their paints being integrated so just a local shop to do it instead **** macco

 

miracle is the same way , they do shitty prep work as well , paint aside , ive seen paint on tires , rims , mufflers , windows , lights etc cause they dont know how to mask.....
