YEARS ago I took my 72 Dodge Maxi-van to Maaco for a paint job{about 76-77} cost me $1200 for paint and some body work.Van was fantasic...................for 18 months! then litterly over night it went from very very shiny to just about as dull as dull can get.hat was the last time I ever set foot any where near a Maaco shop.I dont know what happened but that van looked like you know what after that. Was a dang shame cause it looked great before that.

People will laugh at this, but I my 65 Dodge 440 painted by Maaco, cost me just shy of a $1000. And they worked on it for almost a month. And they did a hell of a great job. Of course I was lucky, the owner was and still is(?) a mopar freak. Was it a $6000+ paint job, no, but after wet sanding and buffing, it was a great job. The owner and I had numerous discussion before I finally let him do it. The only screw up was the dash, I forgot to take it to him with car and after realizing I forgot it, never could get it the exact color match. They mixed their own paint. With all this being said, I was probably a lucky one. Picture included.

There are a lot of variables in a paint job. How much prep work needs
to be done- Quality of paint- skill of painter- etc. Maaco says they
will do it for 1/2 price now, I think less than 400$, but what do you
get for your money?  I am buying materials for painting my car, and
Nason ( lower priced Du Pont)  is over $400 for just the primer and
reducers! and that is body shop price. I would like to hear more info
from other members................MO
