Cheap Maaco Paint Job - IS IT WORTH IT?

[@chippedtoothtony9665]

Bro!!! That’s a big win if you ask me!!! Truck looks great, and the paint is great.

[@cameronmclean4982]

sounds like a perfect solution then for drift cars and winter beaters haha

[@TurnThemWheels]

Hell, that looks great for right around 1000 bucks

[@noreenn6976]

Looks great. Did you take it to a Maaco that has a high rating?

[@Iansbuilds]

I believe their rating is above average. Nothing phenomenal.

[@robertjones5134]

Just took my truck hope it comes out nice $2300

[@jdonez8347]

How'd it come out, what was the final? You use maaco? I have a 89 k1500 sierra I need done, but has some qtr rot

[@robertjones5134]

It came out nice I am happy with it

[@mr.joshua204]

Maaco IS worth it, if you do youre own prep work. 90 percent of the reasons why maaco paint fails and chips is because maaco will either do a poor prep job or lie to you and say they did it

[@Tango-Mike-Bravo]

How much cheaper if I do my own prep work

[@mr.joshua204]

@@Tango-Mike-Bravo when I did it. Maaco wanted 300 for the "outside" prep work, then charged me 300 per door jam, under the hood and trunk. I said fvck that, spent 10 dollars on sand paper, bought black matte spray paint, and did it myself. It took 5 hours, but I literally saved around 2400 just on prep, which half the time, maaco never does

[@Gelanthibern]

Get your quote, wait about a month, they will call you and lower the quote. I saved 300

[@chikenburger]

@@mr.joshua204What exactly is prep work? I know nothing about this, but I need to paint my beater, and saving money sounds good.

[@Gelanthibern]

@@chikenburger prep is light sanding, taping, maybe a little bondo on deep scratches and all that is needed for paint. Just don't get talked into paying for door jams and other addins

[@DispholidusTypus]

If it's a 💩VECHILE 📦 it's definitely worth 👌 it, in my opinion, as long as you do the necessary and proper preparation before it get's sprayed if it needs it that is...

[@Iansbuilds]

I recently paid 9k for a paint job and it’s just about as good as a maaco one. If you find the right maaco dealer then you’re golden
