Anyone in need of a paint job?
by Guest Thu Feb 05, 2009 12:15 pm
anyone wants to get there car painted... Maaco there in lansing is having a spec.... they will paint your whole car for $199!!! Free estimate to see if they need to do any repairs or extra charges!! But $199 for your whole car is a steal!!!! They dont do to bad of a job either!! Offer is only good till the end of Feb!!!

Sure it will look good for a year. But I promiss you it will look like crap after that.
One of the most important steps in a good paint job is prep work and Maaco does not do prep work for $199

i've also heard that macco uses a laquer based paint, there for no clear coat. Looks pretty for one year and then the shine goes away....

Well I supose for two hundred dollors a year it is cheaper than up keep on good paint. Lol the only thing they would ever paint of mine was an auction car I was unloading. Shady spends more than that in cleaning suplies.

Maaco? Seriously? At $199, you'll get what you pay for. Although Zack, do a little prep work and may be you can jazz up the ride if you don't want to put much into it right now.
