    well said. paint is A LOT of work as mr. bucky knows haha so you may dish out what you think is a lot of money and not realize what kind of work goes into it. im sure if you pay sprayglo enough money they'll do whatever you want. if you want to blend into pre-existing paint (which is probably faded quite a bit even though you may not realize) it's going to be really hard to get it right, so expect a pricey job for a blend.

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

    my truck has the really cheap macco paintjob, its pretty good acually. i mean they didnt block off the body lift blocks, or fix rust, but they got the door jambs. btw those stupid fokers painted over my vin though. it was painted when i picked up the truck though but i wanna say it was a $300 paint job. still fresh as hell, kinda rough on the hood but on the sides it looks good and thats all that matters haha.


    only decent picture i got thats not photoshoped

    All things considered it was a deal.. that thing probably took 2 gallons of paint to spray, depending on what color it was originally... paint's not cheap these days.

    I did pay for the materials if that's what your thinking but it wasn't anywhere close to $750 and Maaco never saw that truck.

    I have a few cars here that Maaco painted and I have no complaints for the price I paid. It all depends on which Maaco you go to and who you deal with from what I have heard but for their $400 paint job you get your moneys worth. Very little orange peel. The coating is solid, smooth, no runs and looks like or better than factory paint so I can't complain.

    You really need to access what your painting and the value of it. My wife's T-Top has a 3k paint job on it and it was also well worth the money. I have cars here that cost anywhere from $250-4k to paint and they are all on cars that fit the value of the paint job.

    You can't polish a turd and I gave up trying years ago.

    They change names all the time when mess stuff up. Nothing on my chest and crappy paint on my car. I will be in Duluth this week and trying to find a shop to paint my car. So they are the same or one of them you.

    yea, when it comes to paint, you get what you pay for. The prep work in paint makes all the difference. I have seen 2008 cars painted after an accident and seen the most god awful swirl marks.. and even trash in the paint because someone did not use a tack cloth before they shot it. So, again the prep work can even make a bad paint job look pretty good or a great paint job look like sh!t.

    Have you ever seen one painted by any of the cheaper places? My brother had his done by Maco and it wasnt to bad and he only gave them 3 hundred. It wouldnt win any car shows but it was decent.

    Thats really imature since I asked a question and not being rude or anything. You dont answer the question but be a **** calling names and stuff. I bet this is your work isnt it. No wonder your so mad. I would be to if thats the best I could do. You need to go back to class little boy cuz you cant charge people for Krylon paint jobs and think ther not going to be mad.

    They are not the same shop and those cars were not painted by Sprayglo.

    Sprayglo is a large chain of body shops and this was a local individual shop. There are several people that have had their cars painted by Sprayglo and they look really good from what I can tell.

    Maaco also does a fairly good job and they have a special now for $499.
