The only time to go to "macco" to get a car painted is if you're selling it right away & don't care about getting a lasting paint job

well, i'm going to mayco, cause the ppl who hit my car didn't have insurance, so it was coming out of their wallet. so i didn't wanna like come up to them with a 1k charge or something. i seriously doubt i would have got the $$$.

wouldn't a mayco paint job last at least 2years?

WHAT?????
Why isn't your insurance company going to file suit against the driver that hit you?
No "uninsured idiot" coverage?

No you get what you pay for.A Maaco job is just to sell the car with.
