Maaco is your friend.

there prices cant be beat, and not that bad either. I know they have good paint there, its just the guy behind the gun that you have to worry about.

(kinda like your best mechanic in town might be in the most ghetto shop in town)


get it....

as far as painting a car goes. you get what you pay for, and look at any of the shops past work.

not exactly. my uncle works at macco on the weekends hes been painting cars for about 30 years now, had a few in magazines, has awards....

the shop might not put out quality work, but he himself does...

..and macco uses ppg paint, (last time he told me anyways) and they spray in a booth. both a good combo. (paint is pretty much all personal preference)

so IMO, its all who is behing the spray gun.

Man a monkey could spray the paint the quality in the job comes from the prep work. A plus to maaco they usually paint your tires for no extra charge.

that came out real nice. painting a car yourself isn't as easy as it looks though. i used to be in that buisness and the bodywork and the painting go hand in hand. both the painting and the bodywork have to be top notch. if not, things aren't gonna be so dandy :P

My Dream car, 350,000 grand actually.

Maclaran F1
0-60 - 3.20 Sec
240 mph top speed
Cost 1+ Mill

Saleen S7
0-60 - 3.30
240mph top speed
1mil-350,000=650,000
I think I can find A way with 650,00 to make one of the ultimate supercars go faster then the ultimate.
