    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.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    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...
