Who has used a Maaco Body Shop to paint their 914 and how pleased were you with the result?

2 words - do NOT!
I used one in 2006 for my 85 BMW 325e, who supposedly had classic car resto experience referred by some 50's hot rod buddies here in town. MAACO did a crappy job which started peeling in 20015, it was not the color + clear coat paint which I paid for, & they had overspray all over the place - not to mention the 1st try they had filter crud all over the paint embedded, & too 4-5 months to do a 2 week job, & it still had the crud in the paint the 2nd time & told me to sue them if I didn't like it! The went BK a couple of weeks after "finishing" my car, & MAACO corporate was NO help! MAACO also uses lesser quality Sherwin Williams paints - rather that top tier PPG, Dupont, Glasurit, Sikkends, etc. paints - so the durability isn't there. I would be suspect of any resto shop that uses MAACO for paint jobs for that reason too. Look elsewhere for a good resto or body shop that uses top qualitiy materials, does proper bdy work & prep, & you'll save mony & hassles in the long run! Good Luck!
