Thanx all. > All I can say is you get what you pay for. Nobody's going to put the work into a $5000 paintjob for a couple of hundred bucks. Painting a car right takes a HELL of a lot of time and patients. For that time and patients, you have to pay for it. If you pay $250 for a Maaco cheap paintjob, it might last for a few years, but then again, it might start peeling within weeks. It also depends on how good of shape your paint is in already, if it's good, factory paint on the car now, Maaco paintjobs will be a little better because paint holds better to a factory paintjob(because with an aftermarket paintjob, you never know what is under that stuff) I, personally, have painted my own car and it took ALL damn summer to do in my off time, but a close friend of mine got the cheap $400 Maaco paintjob that is awesome for what she paid! It's been a few years(I think 3) and it looks pretty damn good for what she has in it. But then again, the doorjambs are the old color too.
