had my current hatch painted by maaco. They did a decent job I paid like $699 for the presidential special. lol

had a another hatch painted by Earl Schieb back in 1997. It was funny. Drove it down in the morning, and drove it back that same day. lol $299 for there semi-cheap paint. lasted a few years ( I was in high school, so thats what I could afford at the time)

all in all, I would def go back. I would recommend doing your own body work first.

If I dont paint my cars myself, they're goin to Earl S or Maaco

Haha well considering Im just now getting out of High school, thats what Im looking for. and the old man says I cant use the garage anymore for paint. That kind of spooked me when I was reading on there website you can drop it off at 8am and have it by 5pm the same day haha. But if it lasts for a few years, thats all I care. I know they stand behind there warranties though, doesnt seem like too bad of a deal.

not bad for the cost. Im assuming its not a show car or anything. As long as it shines.haha

They will tell you to park it in the garage and not to wash it for about a week or so.

Heard of a guy that uses maaco for paint on some nice cars. They guy has a body man do all the work then trailers the car to and from Maaco.

Their painter spray paint all day, one of the older guys might actually be good. lol.
