wow thats expensive for a maaco job too!!! I would be pissed as all hell if i paid that much for a paint jobb and its just flaking away....
That sentence sums up the problem. Problem 1, you got ripped good. Problem 2, never go to Maaco for paint jobs. They hire idiots who know shit about automotive painting and don't care about quality work (they probably don't even know what a real paint job looks like). If I were you, I'd try every method in the book to get a refund for their shit job, if that must involve courts then by all means. Once you have the money back, save up a bit more and go shop for quotes from some reputable body shops. Don't always think you have to go to big name brand places, sometimes the guy who can give you a showroom quality mirror finish paint job is the guy working out of a small shop most people have never heard of. Trust me on this, I've been screwed over with paint too, rust coming back within a month, laziness in the work was evident, etc. Had a door problem a short while ago, edge of the door was dented and pushed in, and the door was kinda warped and wouldn't close properly. I went to a small shop a short drive from my house and my car was done 2 days later and you can't even tell there was ever a problem with the door.sbshady said:i went to maaco and paid 1,190.00 for a paint job.
Hey, I take offence to that...I'm a painter who used to work at a Maaco. Of course, I didn't last long there, since you are right in sayin that they don't really care much for quality. I quit cuz they were givin me a hard time about takin too long to paint cars. Well to that I said "if I didn't have to keep sendin the cars back to the bodyman or prepper to fix their fuck-ups, then they would get done a whole lot fasterncc2000 said:They hire idiots who know shit about automotive painting and don't care about quality work .sbshady said:i went to maaco and paid 1,190.00 for a paint job.
:roll: I wouldn't call where I'm workin now much of a bodyshop :roll: We don't even have a spray booth, but I make do with what we have. We do mostly Basecoat/Clearcoat jobs, that way if I find a little dirt here and there, I can just polish it outvhrus said:hey kuz where do you work now?
if its still at a body shop i would like a paint job please, one of those heart filled ones would be nice lol.
i want a new paint job, my biggest problem is finding someone who doesnt wanna charge me my left testical, and will still do a good job
( the only place in town that i know will do an amazing job charges, i belive 2500 but most of that is just cause there known to be the best)
Sask, Its not impossible for the average person to do their own body work. Just very time consuming when you dont have an air compressor or the professional tools.sask_cruiser said:my car needs a lil body work then a paint job but i'm too poor![]()
