looks nice, ange! add a 99 garnish & some USDM headlight covers/snake-eyes...and it'll look awesome!

take long then hello new windsheild, paint, and tint. With a few other things. Front end conversion is coming soon. I need a new bumper and passenger headlight assembly regardless
I wanna know whats under the cover.
Thanks, but I can guarantee it doesn't look that nice when you get down & look at it (previous Maaco job with a LOT of blemishes)...I just like to keep up on it to make it look presentable until I can get a complete, professional respray done.Quote:

Read up on wetsanding. I've seen some macco jobs after wetsanding and polishing and they look amazing.
No they don't.Quote:

i dont know how much you know about painting cars but your statment about waxing it to keep it protected isnt true. you have to wait 6 months to wax it and should only do it once a year
where did you get this? My body shop said I could wax right away.Quote:

my dad is a ase body man and owned a shop for 8 years. yes if they cure it thats true but macoo wont cure it trust me
or you could just NOT CHEAP OUT on paint & get a quality shop to do it with paint that's durable--as well as having them add a tough clear-coat that will withstand a lot of punishment. and add a 3m clear bra.Quote:

if you want to change the car's color, and do it RIGHT, you're looking at a minimum of 4 grand--assuming someone else is doing all the work. MINIMUM. if you want to do all the prep, and someone's cutting you a great deal on paint/labor--then i suppose you can hack the price down considerably. still...you get what you pay for. i've heard endless stories about guys who think that a $500 paint job should be just as good as a $5000 paint job. and for what it's worth, they're probably correct---assuming of course, that you never are closer than 10' from your car.Quote:

As said you do NOT wax a car right after its painted. It has to outgas and cure.
Once again Blackmount fails. Shouldn't surprise anyone anymore.
