the last pic is a mistake. they didnt tape so well on that corner of the car, also they sprayed my grill thus painting the pwer-steering cooler pipes behind it. Other than that I am pretty happy. probably cause I was there everyday to check-up on them. ;) oh. also I had them take off the liscense plate holder on the front bumper and fill in the holes.. bad idea.. now I got nothing to keep people from hitting my bumper. plus I had to relocate the plate.
I payed $900 for those interested in knowing.

Damn, you got a ton of overspay on your rear liscens plate J/K!
Looks like it came out pretty good. Which one did you go to.

I would just deal with my paintjob for double the time+ to get a better job. My friend took his car to maaco and it looked REALLY nice. But it's chipping now. (6 months later)

well.. im hoping that it doesn't start to chip. But then again, I got the maaco promise to repaint within 4 years. Dunno.. im happy with it, didn't turn out as dark as I thought it was going to, but not bad altogether.

ps. - steve0677, I love black also as you can see from the pic in my sig, but I wanted a change.

pps. - Mr. Mike, I went to the MAACO in NY, flushing queens on northern blvd.

Nevermind my last post...I just checked another reply and saw that you got it done at the one in Flushing. Came out nice...I had some friends paint their cars at that same one and it's been years and the paint hasn't chipped yet. I guess some Maacos are decent. Good luck with the paint bro...

I guess it's because of the low quality save. But like I said I love the color. :thumbsup
