If you car needs a paint job, then macco is the best place to go; if your going to sell the car to someone you dont care about.

Maaco paint shows too many speckles, no reflection and barely any clearcoat. "The saying goes, you get what you pay for" That applys to all paint and body work, Parts you can get by with but dont be cheap with something that is meant to look nice and prevent your car from rusting.

stay away from macco! your better off painting your car with a roller and paint brush! have your buddy fix your car try and prep it your self as much as possible and with 500$ any proffessional body shop will spray your car for that much money. and the paints they use are way better. everyone is telling you " STAY AWAY " i hope you listen. you wont regret it!

no pro shop is gonna spray a car for 500 bucks, and on top of that they cant guarntee it if they did cuz you prepped it so they can fuck it up all they want and it wont matter cuz they can blame it on u. but really they wont spray it for 500 bucks. my cousin has had a body shop for over ten years now and he would never do something like that cuz its a waste of time.

whats the point of getting a cheap ass paint job when yur gonna need another one in a lil while. might as well save up n do it right

and no body shop that i know of will do a 500 dollar paint job and do a good job even if u prep it your self. its just one of those things that is gonna cost u no matter what u do
