the paint was $250 then $100 for doin prep work. the total was $450 with labor and tax.
if u get really close to the car u can see some imperfections. i wanted the car to look good when u r driving by it and it does. its definitely no show car, but it looks better than most fox bodys around where i live.
AllStockPony-i dont know y u r trying to bash me. im 18 and dont have a job so im on a tight budget and i didnt want an amazing paint job, just a decent one. From ur user name ur car is stock and once u start actully buying parts for your car, you'll realize that it costs money and cant always get what u want. so keep ur comments to yourself. i think u need to calm down

Why is it pointless? I could find his address if I wanted to. I mean, better safe than sorry.

Why? Pointless.

Might be a good idea to blur out your license plate.

if a few people see it online, not much of a difference

Do it. Don't do it. I don't care. I don't see any reason to invite trouble, but maybe I'm paranoid. I guess I see the difference as people here know what you have and this is their "hobby." Might be more enticing. Again, maybe I'm just paranoid.

It looks good right now. Give it a few months or a year and see how it turns out. I have heard bad things about how long MAACO paint jobs last. But hey you get what you pay for.
So what county in idiana are you from. I don't remember what 8 is. I am originally from henry county....33

RE: Fresh new maaco paint!!!
looks great! on a budget i believe that it is great. the previous owner of my fox paid 3k for my car being painted (it was red) and honestly i wasn't that happy, its been almos 5 years and i may be getting it retouched soon.
IMHO...almost everyone can turn a wrench, not many can paint a car. congrats on the new color
