Quality of Maaco's paint?

You'd do better buying spray cans and doing it yourself---

Figure this---
I just got done painting the cab of a Mack--- ( which by the wy has less
surface area than a Van---)

The gallon of PPG paint alone was $238.00 ( not including acid etch
primer, and the filler primer, sand paper, tape, reducer, hardner )

So tell me--what kind of quality is Maaco giving you?

Will they spray the engine compartment?

Sure, along with all the rubber mouldngs, glass, headlamps, taillights,
anything you want !!!:>)

Pay the piper, get it done once---get it done right---

Later,


Terry

I saw an ad on tv over the weekend - Maico are offering a auto respray
and 4 hours of bodywork for $399. My 82 diesel could use a respray once
the current rust and knocks have been fixed. Can anyone comment on Maico
and the quality of their work? $399 seems pretty cheap? I wonder if they
also spray the engine compartment?
