Paint job...help...

[maluskeeter]

99 Integra LS...I jus got my car keyed pretty bad, planning to redo my whole integ, its about that time anywaz..I was looking into maaco's signature paint job, but i was wondering y maaco gets such a bad rep??...also the signature paint description states:

Single-Stage Polyurethane with Sealer.
There are 2 coats..

I dont know exactly what the polyurethane would do...theres a base coat (4-5 coats itself), clear coat (4-5 coats)...i wanted to knnow if this was a good deal, i got a really good deal..also im looking for a black color... maybe metallic black?...I was also looking into basalt black metallic...anyone have any suggestions on any really shiny black paint colors??

thanks...

i have heard they they dont prep the area they just paint it, and that they get overspray on alot of things

DO NOT GET MAYCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my girl took her car there and got the best prep they have and painted her car black well that was less then a year ago and its already chipping in a couple of spots and it looks like they just sprayed right over the teal paint they didnt sand it down or anything i warn u there cheep and u will get what u pay for.... im gonna bring it back cuz its under warrenty

they cost so cheap is cuz their paint sucks, the qaulity sucks, you get wat u pay for, just get a quote from a professional body shop. they give u a better job than mayco would

my neighbor across the street does body work and paint. his cars turn out GORGEOUS. all i gotta do is pay for the materials. any color i want. im broke at the moment, so i can't do it. but yea maaco is pretty crappy, they aren't very god quality (basically ditto wat everyone else said)

 

[MoJoJoJo]

thats cuz he prolly likes you, you kno how guys are, if a hot chick *ahem you* needs something, we'll hook you up


(this corny line might work, :thumbs up

Single stage paints usually dont hold up nearly as long as 2 or 3 step paints. Plus the single stage is less expensive to maaco, so they can charge less for it, work less as hard (because single stage lays down well over badly prepped vehilces) and people are usually happy when they see their car all shiny with fresh clear coat.

(used to do body work, so i've been there and done that)

my cars getting paitned by maaco right now. ill post some pics after i pick it up and tell you what i think.

but i think im gonna get what i paid for. but its cool, cause im poor. and now instead of getting it painted for $800 from my friends friend and being broke, i have enough money for new wheels and tires. :lol:

it should be ready in a weeks time.

edit-

paint it nighthawk black pearl. black ITR paint color

my old accord was painted over there. It was definitley a good paint job for the price (440) i had them shave the emblems and fix a dent in my hood while it was there too and told em to paint all the way down. I got the 3 stage second from the top of the line paint.
