anyone have any idea how much it cost you to repaint your stang? no bodywork or anything is required, just repaint, same factory color.

Rweiers said:Soooo.....330 bucks hey....well...umm....cant say you would get a very good paint job done at all....i dont even thinkthey prep the body, I think they just scuff it with a S.O.S pad. I am currently working out the details with a custom paint place up here in Canada...Kustom King, they are going to paint the whole thing pearl white with a ting of blue in the clear with ghost flammes for 3 to 4k canadian...so that would work out to about 500 U.S dollars , and they actually have a warranty to back that. as far as im concerned you might as well spend the cash once...get it done right i think anyone looking for a good quality paint job will be looking between 3 and 5, depending how much work has to be done
DJsZincGT said:You aren't reading the fine print my friend. The 3 year warranty that you are referring to is for the paint itself not the work that Maaco did (something they conveniently forget to tell you). They use a paint equivalent to something like Dimension (brand name) and when you go to the local paint supplier they will tell you it's covered by a 3 year warranty against fading and things of that nature. Come on man, all these bodyshops in the country are charging between 2000 and 4000 dollars (depending on location) just to prep and paint a vehicle, and Maaco does it for $330? That tells me right there that the warranty isn't worth #!@$&. I've had friends go there and get their cars painted and when they start having problems and Maaco won't fix it for them, they come to me and I have to fix the mess that Maaco left behind. If you got a good one from them, more power to you, but I can't back their service.
