Subject: Maaco Author: Dave C. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:15:48 12/30/02 Mon Hello all, I have a friend looking to get a quality paint job, but staying within a budget. It is for a Daily Driver Caprice. He has priced Maaco and they seem to be in his budget, however they have many levels of service. I know several car restorations have been painted by Maaco, so I thought I would ask for some opinions. Is Maaco worth the money? What level of paint service would you all recommend? What price is fair in getting the car repainted at Maaco? Thanks for any information or help you can give. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Do NOT go with the integrated clearcoat paint. It'll come off after two years on a daily driver. That's why they only give a two year warranty on that one.

One Maaco manager once told me that he advises to take the integrated clearcoat paint and come back every couple of years for a repaint as it is cheap enough to do so.
