    hahahahah.

    like what was said before, you get what you pay for. if you go spend 500 then you'll get an ok paint job. with nothing taken off the car, overspray on everything and no buff job. so there will be plenty of trash in it, and probably dry spray.

    if you want something decent, expect to spend 1200-2000.

    If your hating on a $500 macco job go look at Bugman's "Before and After" thread. He has a $500 job on his Mustang, for $500 it looks fine.

    i havent seen the mustang so i can speak to that specific car... but "looks fine" is a relative term... your "fine" could be my "sh1tty"

    Maaco and Spray Glo are definitly capable of turning out some good quality paint jobs... but generally they are on the lower end of the quaity scale.. hence the price.

    do your research before u bash a maaco or sprayglo $5oo job. maacos are franchised and each are only as good theyre workers( as w any bodyshop). the maaco in douglasville owner knows nothing about cars or body work so he gives u a great price, but his painter is kick arse and will not by any means cut corners and takes pride in his work.. the detailer usually buffs all cars too.. lol it depends who u go to. research some shops before u choose one. id post pix of the maaco stated abobe but im on here via phone so pm me for pix, i can text u or hell i can send to some one and thay can post em here.
