the car looks good man.

i would keep an eye on it and make sure it doesnt chip. like most the others in here, ive had bad luck with maaco.

ironic..they did an EXCELLENT job on a weekend drag car...3 colors and matching paint colors to suspension and roll bar powdercoat..but the did a SHITTY job repainting my old emerald green 95 taurus and my old red 85 F150..

you get what you pay for. sadly, most maaco's business is the cheaper quick fix or respray..so most of their work is lower quality. they do have some nice paint jobs rolling around on the streets tho

Looks nice...Is that base coat clear coat paint or a single stage? and is that the orginal color or did you do a color change if so did they do in the doors and under the hood and hatch?

looks good far better than what they done to mine they did a horrible job on masking the chrome and paint fadded within a year but did it fast at least, now the guy that did my last paint job took a month to paint but he did a good job and did it all by himself so took a while

Took my 92 GT now sold to maaco. Literally had the car there seven times because of paint peeling painting right over light rust not even prepping it.

Had to call the Maaco customer service to get them on top of things.

Eventually They repainted whole car and re assured me that they would call me everystep of the way.

Finally the final paint job looked good and I was satisfied with finished product.

I would say make sure you stay on top of the paint job it may look good now but you have to keep an eye on it.

Good luck and dont let maaco get over on you if you start to have problems. Just call customer service that seems to work when they start to give you a hard time.

I finally got couple of pics of my car on here that was painted by Macco. check it out and see what you think. I'm happy, but I'm going to keep an eye on it to.

Looks good. Did you have them paint your trim ?

Just keep an eye on it close eye. I first noticed my paint starting to bubble on the hatch area.....and I had no previous rust that would have caused it. It was just the poor prep and paint job.

Good luck with the paint job it looks great.

Make sure you get the customer service # just in case

Thanks. They painted the trim also. Was black but wanted a new custom look. I had to take it back after a week so they could wet sand and buff. I''ll keep that # handy though in case.
