ORIGINAL: skitso

my friend works for them and told me not to go to them

their main problem, no prepwork, do the prep work your self get it painted should be no problem
My brother got a truck painted there (Maaco no pictures sorry), but he did all the prep work himself. All they did was masked and sprayed while his 6ft7 230 pound Thor look-a-like build watched them from the corner. It was a decent job, it wasn't a show car, but even with all the work he did getting the truck ready and talking to me about how steroids have given him a really short temper only gave him a 2 ft job. Any closer then that and problems started showing up.

You get what you pay for, I don't know how old you are but at 16 i'd be happy with a maaco paint job over the rustbuckets id bring home, but getting closer to 30 now, i'd probably shop around more.
