To this day, I still dont understand why anyone would spend the money on a Maaco paint job. They're junk and you'll end up having to get your car repainted again not long after going to them. Just save up your money and get a quality paint job.

The old saying you get what you pay for applies here
If I couldn't afford another paint job for a few years but didn't want to worry about rust I'd get a maaco job

As it is the j2 is gonna be roller painted lol

If you want maaco to do a decent job, do all the prep work yourself. All of it. Make the only thing they have to do be spraying that one coat of paint, and a trained monkey could put down an acceptable coat of paint. If you expect them to go the extra mile for $200, you're nuts. If you want a $2000 paint job for $200 . . .

i wrecked a buddys car last year and had to fix enough of the car that we just had em spray the whole thing. it looked really nice after it was done but he just stored the car afterward so i have no clue how it would hold up. they have nicer paint jobs if you pay for it but you should do the prep work yourself if you really want it to be nice.
