painting my car...

so im going to have someone paint my car... not sure who yet..

any opinions on maaco? I dont want something special. im not going for perfection here, althought it must look good. just need it to be sanded, primed, painted, clear coated.

Unless you know someone at maaco I would stay away

^agreed unless you want that 6 month paint job

ah damn, didnt know it was like that lol.

anywhere else i can get it painted for around 1000?

You get what you pay for. I'd advise patience and try to save up $3000 or so and get something a bit more long lasting. There should be several body shops that can quote a basic paint job for that much.

Laura and my son Zach have used Roy's Auto Body in Eldersburg, MD (Carroll County) with very good results. Most important, they have exceptional customer service and are honest with you. Brian is a regular member on Metro Area Mustangs where most members have Fox Bodies. I would sign up there and post your request.

My guy Bill does great work. He`s the only one I trust with my cars. He painted nightmare, some work on my 09, my moms car, many friends of mine cars, and he`s buffing my Benz right now. He`s the man!

Bob, what's the name of his shop and where is he?

MAACO SUCKS! Paint will fade in like 6-8 months time. Your would be better priming the car and painting it matt black yourself....

Bill did my front bumper and it is great. I think his shop is just called Bills Auto Body. It's in westminster. His shop looks like a hole in the wall but he does great work.

Bills Auto Works. His # is 410-876-8818

He is located on old 140 just west of Reese Rd.

how much is one of his jobs would you say?

Like anyone else is going to tell you. They gotta see it. His prices are less than a regular shop would be but more than a macco job because the quailty is there.

alright when i get my car back i shall give him a call once i get a hood

Just stay away from a Bills, in Balto, he's the earl scheib that did my hood that we have to re do, I will most likely have Bill in Westminster re do it, if we dont do it ourselves.

yeah i have a friend who said he'd paint my car for me. he painted his camaro and it looks really nice.
