[civic96hb]

What color are you going with

 

[civic96hb]

[Genuine Rolla]

silver is pretty easy to do. Can't wait to see how it comes out

Make certain that the clear is shot separately. I've heard that Maaco just mixes the clear in with the basecoat. Don't know how true that is though.

i love hearing stuff like this about maaco
that's kinda like saying ford has a 4cyl engine... so all ford vehicles must come with the same 4cyl engine


maaco can do a $400 job with mixed in clear and less prep work, they can also do a $4,000 6 stage job with house of kolor paint that will win shows.

the only problem with maaco is the douchebag customers who pay $300 for a paint job, then bad mouth maaco because instead of their cheap paint job turning out like the $4,000 job, they only got what they paid for

Yeah, but from his original post, I got the impression that he was paying extra for the extra clear coat.

. I also got an extra clear coat for $100.

It would suck to pay extra for them to just dump an extra ounce or two in with the paint and just shoot the one coat.

Much better, but I'd never take my car to Macco, really they are a joke and do shitty work. If you would have taken your car to a real high end body shop then all the s**t in you pics would have been painted off the car and it wouldn't be so grainy. But in your instance, I guess it was for the best since you said you were tight on funds. I have to be a scrutinizing bastard, it's my job at the body shop I work at...lol
