Their low end jobs are total crap but I have seen them do some good base/clear jobs.

Looks pretty darn nice. I don't usually like stripes on a Camaro, but those look pretty hot. Seems that by splitting the hood scoops, they bring them out more.

I've never liked the stripes that go from bumper to bumper. They look like Mustang stripes to me.

The ones on this car, from hood to deck lid.... that's the way stripes are supposed to look on a Camaro.

Re: newly painted by macco

I have a macco job, got it 3 years ago, the only thing I regret is not doing some of the prep myself because now I have some peeling around the door locks and a small spot on the side from a high pressure car wash, and I have the clear coat starting to separate on the spoiler. I still have time on the warrenty so I might take it to them this summer to work on although that kind of stuff doesnt bother me, The value is good but I kind of regret painting the car all together.

Re: newly painted by macco

I had a Maaco paint job on my 88 that looked pretty good, for about three years. It's all hazy in spots now. The prep is where the money goes. You get what you pay for, if you are lucky!!!

They did mine about 6 months ago here in north Houston. Been pretty happy with it so far. Was ~$1600 and everyone else was quoting $3-4k at a minimum. Nothing special...very minor body work (dings) and the color is the same.[IMG][/IMG]

I agree...but I've known other people that took theirs into this particular shop and they turned out OK. I drive mine just about every weekend that we have decent weather, so I wasn't looking for showroom quality and it has it's own space in the garage, so it won't get exposure to a lot of elements.

I'll probably turn in over in a couple of years anyhow. I'm already getting tired of a stick again...

Re: newly painted by macco

Well I guess a congratulations is in order because it looks like they did a pretty good job. I like that silver.
