That "shiny ass white" is made by using clear coat. A necessary element to any paint job. I take it your car isn't white now, don't change the color. Do you want to pop the hood and see a different color?? Or a different color in your door jams??

ok, you missed my point. When you repaint a different color, your engine bay will still be the old color. Depending on the quality of the job, your door jams will be the old color as well. Basically all the seems will be the old color.

If he pays for a top spray,..then the "seams" and the jams, etc. will be a different color.
If you're gonna go maaco,..then keep the same color.
MAke sure you tell them to watch the overspray.

Maaco sucks... at least the one by us does. Never again will I let them touch my car. You get what you pay for man... trust me. A buddy of mine had his done by macco because he didn't believe me... it's only been a few months and his car started rusting... AGAIN.

That's just it though... you need to have connections now days. Both macco shops here are a joke... actually the one shop I was talking about was sued twice, I'm surprise they are still open.

Maaco offers $200 paint jobs and they offer $2000 paint jobs and several others in between. They have a bad rep because of their $200 paint jobs. Their more expensive ones rival those of any quality body shop. You get what you pay for.

MAACO absolutely sucks. They get paid by how much they get done and how fast they do it. Kinda like sales, only it's painting cars. Very ghetto. No MAACO paint job will ever "rival" that of a true quality shop that does decent allovers. A LOT of body shops do crappy allovers these days. It's all about production...
