It depends on how they do it. You could do a bad job with expensive paint and it turns out wrong... or do a good job with cheap paint and it come out great.
If you have an older, cheaper car, it's a very good paint job for the price. Many years ago, I had one of those paint jobs for my Vega, and later for Hubby's old pick up truck. Nothing fancy, but a nice, even coat of fresh color. It lasted the life of the vehicle. It especially made Hubby's truck look better. His truck was actually a cab from one truck, and bed from another. The paint job made it look like all one vehicle.
If you have a new, expensive car, then you don't want a cheap paint job. (If your car is new, unless it was in an accident, you shouldn't need a full body paint job anyway.)
Well, avoid Maaco at all costs. They don't sand off the old paint and repaint with a new coat. They just paint over the old paint, basically. That's why it is cheap paint job. I would rather have high quality paint job than cheap paint job that peels off in 2-3 years later. I have heard way too many complaints with Maaco, anyhow. Sure, go ahead and ask some paint experts and they will tell you the same thing.
^^ You're welcome! I learned that from my friend who knew how Maaco is with the paint jobs. A quality paint job basically starts with sanding, primer and a smooth 2-3 coats of paints and a clear coat. Yes, that's a lot of layers.
good thing you learned from your friend who know everything abou professional paint job. and good thing I learn from you here on AD.
again, I appreciate it. big smile
oops, i determine the range from between $ 200 (cheap bleh) to 5,000 (finest and top of the kind).
Average of people go for between 300-600 bucks where they able to afford and have 2 coats to cover it. Most of time, people who want to pimp the ride, would go farther than 600, say around 800-2,000.
