where to get my car painted

[X-Runner]

^^And which "high end" bodyshop is that?

Like I told you in your PM... bad paint that you pay for will piss you off a LOT more than bad paint that came with the car. Just save up your pennies for a few weeks until you can afford a good paint job.

Go to Andys and look at all the cars parked along the curb with the front end facing the street. Those are all cars he has painted, you will see the quality of his work... it speaks for itself.

Sorry... too busy running my own shop to drive an hour to look at someone else's.

Whatever. He asked where to get a paint job done at for around $300, I told him where to go. If he was looking for a more expensive paint job he would have asked for that.

whats the closest place to winder? i want something around 200 to 300. where is the closest maaco? thanks

LOL, you have internet don't ya? It sure looks like it... so ever thought about Maaco.com? If you know you're zip code then I bet you can find the closest one

Honestly its worth the drive to Conyers for a $300 job that will be much much better than any maaco job ever will be. Andys Auto Body... Ill post his number tomorrow.

Maaco's are franchise's, their quality solely depends on the ability of the franchisee and their employee's...there is no standard or way to judge them equally.

The quality of the paint depends on the quality of the bodywork underneath...there is no way someone can do body work, no matter how minor it is, and spray a car for $300 without losing money. If so lets see some pics!

I have and I guarantee you I'm as much if not more anal than anyone on this forum about paint and paint care. Granted the ones I've been suprised by weren't $300 paint jobs either.

On the red mustang we just rolled out of the shop, paint alone was just over $220.

When you get PPG paint/reducer/hardner for $60 you can do a decent $300 job...

Unless you're blowing the president of PPG and letting him stick it in your bum, it's not gonna happen.

Exactly, may be a little excessive compared to other colors but i've seen paint cost more than that too...
