Well what i know is this.
MAACO are franchised and so quality changes per the owner. Some believe in quality some dont. I know that alot of people dont like ehat the get BUT look at the price is what i say. How much time and effort do you expect for 225 or whatever the current deal is. That said i would think that if you did your own prep work talked to the owner and saw if he cared etc then you might be able to get a decent job...good enough for say autoxing but not for a show. Keep in mine that maacos most expensive is still half of what most places will charge. If you have a friend do it you may end up ok but you have nothing to go after if there is a problem. Go to maaco pay with a credit card and despute it if they do a bad job...thats the best thing you can do i guess if money is tight....
I am conflicted on this right now. I cant see spending almost again what i paid for my contour to fix the lightly cracking clear coat...yet i am not sure i want a sub 500 dollat paint job either....
Hmmm....are their any products that can cover this problem just from my eye? there used to be something that you sorta painte don the car that was almost like polyurethance or soemthing that basically re-clearcoated the car...but i cant remeber the product and since it is no loger around i have questions about its reliablity. etc
