yeah alot of crappy paint jobs are due to bad prep. usually bad prep on bodywork causing the start of peeling or really bad pin holes... and some raw plastic bumpers are not cleaned proberly (in which some are coated in something that paint wont stick to). but this is more than a maaco problem this is a shop problem period and most of the time in small shops that dont encounter these issues as much as a comercial high volume shop would encounter strictly cause they do more work. theres also the point everyone wants perfect quaulity for 2 or 3 hundred bucks. u cant expect perfect for nothin. you can get a really god paint job for a grand but not 3bills anymore. even maaco base coat clear coat starts @ $11oo, with no add ons for chip repair ar anything. so next time u hear someone itchin bout the work to get a laugh ask wat they paid, lol personally save your self some money you do the prep work and before even that find a seasoned painter thats been sprayin for a long time then you go buy the paint and take it to him a seasoned painter will work more fore you if hes jus runnin a da over the car checkin for things missed instead of a half day of sanding and taping. anyways find a good painter @ a small shop (so ur car is not just a number) that will work with your budget and dont put your hopes high and realize ur gonna have a lil trash in the paint all shops do ok im tired lol

now for get all that and jus take that sumamahbitch to bucky :p lol everyone take they chit to bucky ok jus do it.....(hopin one day hell need help so i can move back to gwinnett lol)
