Those jobs look pretty good.

maybe because it looks good?

and so do the other 2 cars in this thread so far!! Shows that if you're brave enough to try bodywork yourself you can come up with something nice and save money! Cant go wrong there

i think tho you cant really see the quality of the paint unless your in person. the pics sometimes make the cars look better or they got really good deals on there paint jobs. maaco sucks for sure tho!

I def agree, the orange paintjob that i first had was very close to show quality, the car was sprayed in a local bodyshops booth after hours by one of the best painters around...no orange peel, runs etc...The second (red) paint job was done by a friend in his garage and looks great from a distance but up close has many inperfections.
