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

The biggest issue with MAACO is that their model is to turn stuff out fast and cheap. Thus, they will take lots of short cuts in terms of prep, taping, etc.
That said, if you do ALL of the prep work yourself, their guys do spray paint all day long and are pretty good at doing so properly, evenly, etc. Depends on what you want and how much of the prep work you are willing to do yourself. For a "quickie", "sell me red" paint job I guess they are OK. If you want something that will still look good a few years down the road, you get what you pay for. |
