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

Depends on the shop 100%.
Local shop gets LOTS of hot rods and classic cars. Obviously the bodywork is Meh and the prep-work is utter shit. So the people in the know do all their own bodywork and prep and then have Maaco provide the paint and spray it. The bodywork is 100% the hardest to get right. Dont do it right and it'll crack and rust after a couple years. This is where half your money should go into. I painted my car for ~$700 in materials and used cheap (but quality) paint, and I painted 3 others with roughly the same costs. My car was about 2-300 hours to paint, the rest were between 100 and 150hrs. Check my links in my sig if you want more info. If your looking to just get a solid color on the car a $1200 paint job from Maaco is impossible to beat. |
