I've had over eight cars done by them here in Redwood City, Ca. before they
changed hands and the body work done for me was good, except for one. Wish I'd
have checked before paint job, Oh well! Don't use them since they changed hands
3 times the price and no better job. Met a couple at hot August nights that had
a super nice painted Corvair, and asked who did it. They said Maaco in there
home town, said he had all his cars painted there. I was shocked and now will
check them out here.

I haven't followed this thread but I am preparing for a repaint of my
black 65 Crown. Do these shops like Miracle do minor body work/rust repair?
What about the chrome bits? Are they removed or just masked?

Eric,
I had my 64 Crown done by Miracle Auto Painting in
Stockton CA. I was very pleased with the job. I would suggest you visit
the different shops and look at a finished product. They should have a
couple in various stages of finish to so you can see the process. If they
won't let you see that then I would move on to another shop. I also agree
that going to black you would be very unhappy. Shops like Miracle
& Maaco do so much painting they are pretty good at it. I had a bad
experience with Earl Scheib awhile back, so I wouldn't
personally recommend them, According to the Sacramento Phone book you have 5
Maaco's and 5 Miracle's to choose from. That should give you a pretty good
start. Good luck & keep us updated
