the big problem with maaco is reallly the lack of prep, do all the prep work yourself (sanding, removing trim/lights, etc.) and their paint can last a good long time, they don't sand in the grooves or on edges, and they tape off on the trim instead of removing it. do the prep and pay for some extra clear and you can color sand and buff their paint jobs to looking like something better than the factory. also if you take care of it it can last as long as a more expensive paint job. I've done this on several old Jaguars with great results. you just gotta do the prep and finish work yourself, they won't


That really depends on which Maaco you go to. Some people do a good job while some don't.
