The other insane part is how a lot of these comments are somewhat bashing Sal saying you get what you paid for..... when in reality Sal is being a complete champ along with being super positive towards this situation..... I seriously feel like a lot of these people are working with MAACO...… and its wild because all of the comments are like this on almost EVERY MAACO paint job review video..... You did an amazing job with the video review along with how you presented it. You didn't bash them or tear into them but you also didn't lie or sugar coat any of it!
You nailed it
Thank you my man 🤘🏼
The reason why Maaco "misses" things like this, is because when customers are paying $500/$1000/$1500 for a paintjob, the company can only afford minimum wage employees. Also, Maaco is production [volume] oriented (quantity over quality) so thats why the masking is often shortcut'd.
It’s understandable
Thank you for the input 💪🏼🤘🏼
I had a 1500 dollar job done at Maaco but they worked with me and i helped them do it right by Contracting with the Window Glass company to remove all windows glass off the vehicle that was 350 plus I had them remove the Seals and Rubber gaskets all over. I replaced them I also removed the engine and tucked away the wiring harnesses. So I did alot of preop work for them to make it an easier process. All in all I might of spent about 2000 plus the Mugen body kit which was another 850 All in all 3000 for everything Still 10 years later it looks good. You can get it to look awesomely professional but be realistic about price. It really starts at 1000 but you and I know that it goes way beyond that once you start the details. You want good quaility 500 bucks not going to do it.
@@sbfhawk4343 hoping to do something like that soon for the channel on another car 🤘🏼
I work at a maaco and honestly us workers wish we can do more but our bosses want cars to go in and out, even if they look off.
But we do mask everything pretty well if if we do get overspray on parts we clean and restore them
Nah dude, that exhaust overspray is unacceptable even for a cheap paint job.
Right!?
Not really, it’s only a 1000 bux lol in autobody that’s just enough to buy good base coat and clear.
I'm sure he told him he was swapping it and didn't care
@@randabuffer6562 you're kidding, right? Grocery bags are 5 cents each in NY.
Look man people want Champagne and Caviar on a beer budget okay its not going to happen you want Champagne and Cavair you got to pay $$$ for it. Nothing good is cheap bro nothing.
that paint job is amazing lol ...all the extras like rust proofing the exhaust with paint and tinting the windows blue at no extra cost .. man what a good deal :)
Best deal I’ve got all year!!
i wouldnt take a junk car to maaco
@@gainer83 you have to tape your windows and chrome or they will paint them also
LOL!!
@@gainer83listen men that depends what maaco is cuz ricer Miata found a maaco in florida that goes to town on the detail
I got my car painted for $676, for that price I didn't complain about anything just asked for a little bottle of touch up paint. It's been 2yrs still looks good.
Yup..it is all about realistic expectations…had a car painted years ago, cost me $906 ad that included some bodywork…overspray here and there…it’s to be expected for that price…I can’t believe folks who think they’re gonna get a great paint job for a grand, it’s not gonna happen…but for cheap paint they do just fine….
@@vanishingpoint5248 I've seen some good jobs from them ,just that you usually bring the car there on a flatbed cause it's got a lot of parts removed and cops ain't too fond of cars with no lights or bumpers and stuff.
Maaco has a one-hour-per-car policy for their painters. You'll have to do the tricky masking and part removal and save the big/easy stuff for them. Opt for extra paint because they only allow two quarts per car. That's the only way to get a decent job and should give you enough mils to cut and buff.
Maybe if they didn't paint things that DIDN'T need paint, they wouldn't have to be so stingy, and wouldn't have to rush the paint time.
And i dont dont just mean the bolts actually removing it off the car and actually doing a good tape job
@@reubenmorris487Them being stingy comes down to the price they offer for the paint job. You think they're gonna care to prep right for that amount of money 😂😂 prepping alone would take majority of their time. They save you money on the lack of prep more so than the amount of paint
Yup so many people here are ignorant af just spewing out nonsense yet don't want to pay a reasonable price.
0:49 - I'd be stunned if you found someone who could paint the car cheaper and better. They did a good job for the price.
I paid over $2500.00 just for the materials to paint my car never mind the labor . Overall 1100.00 for a decent paintjob seems pretty good .
Oh yeah 100% very happy with our job
They sold u the material like 4 times..
I had Maaco paint a car about 30 years ago. Same results as yours; looked great from 10 feet away(maybe 20), the exhaust pipe and other under chassis parts, grill innards, all got their free rust proofing. Also got the free window tint too! lol! I remember that it took one day, in that morning and out by 3pm!
Back then I think I paid around $150.
$150 sounds like a smokin deal! 😂🤘🏼🤘🏼
Van Nuys is hood af, nor surprised they did a bad job. That being said 1000 for a paint job is dirt cheap. I painted my car myself as a project maybe 7 years ago and just paint and clear was 650.
Thank you for your very informative videos. I own a 2001 BRG miata and even though I'm not very mechanically inclined, your videos arm me with the info I need to make sure I get my money's worth when someone else works on my car. This Maaco paint video will be really helpful for when I get my car repainted. Thank you
LOL I kept coming back everyday to see if y’all released a new video . Thank you!
The loyalty! 😂 Thanks for being patient 🙏🏼
I think the over spray is a bit unacceptable. However.. If any shop did all of the things you stated to perfection you would spend $6000.
There's a lot of good and bad about Maaco.
Customer expectations vs reality is often the biggest issue.
For the money they did a good job. Not withstanding the over spray.
Absolutely
In the end I’m happy with it
Just wanted to show my experience
Insane!!6500 dollars
I think it’s perfect for a car like that 🤘🏼🤘🏼
MACO=MOSTLY A KRACK OUTCOME
@@eazystreet5507 no cracks yet
A long time ago, a friend of mine, and I, prepped a Pontiac 6000 wagon (go ahead laugh). We did minor bodywork, took off trim, did a good job of taping then towed it to a Maaco-type shop to get repainted in the same color (so door jambs did not need to be painted). I don't recall the price, but it was cheap. Turned out looking pretty good, especially considering the price point.
Surprised they pump out something that decent for that price and open door
Seems solid all things considered, most overspray could be rectified easily imo.
I live in the valley, trying to get my old dodge dakota painted...this video was so helpful! Thank you
Of course glad we could help!
Take it to the Oxnard location! They do the best work 🤙🏼
About to say, that $1000 could of gone towards a nice turbo setup. Then I saw the California plates... LOL nevermind.
Lololol maybe once we move to Texas
I got a big turbo project I want to get handled for sure
More like $4000 for the carb legal setup
Honestly, best color on a Miata, looks great man, keep it up :)
Thanks Antonio!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
We've had family and "work" cars painted by Maaco. In those days a Deluxe paint job was $349 (in the mid to late 70's). The key to the best possible outcome was to prep any body work and paint yourself and remove as much of the trim and such as possible. Kind of like mixing all your own flour, eggs, and other ingredients and just having the baker put it in the oven.
I had my wheels powder coated in New York for 500 bucks from a great private painter…what did this guy think for the whole car for a little over a grand
I buy bread from my bakery without needing to deliver them eggs and flour
@@carloscastiano That works too! :)
Previous owner did the 600 paint job here in Vegas for my Miata, some original paint is still showing under the door. Let’s just say he got what he paid for. Definitely changing my Miata color this year else where
Some Maaco are direct repair for major insurance companies to they will have quality output. Every Maaco are different. As mentioned, $800 would be the cost just for materials alone for a quality base/clear coat. Budget paint jobs use the least expensive paint they could get their hands on--paint not going to last long. I have been to some Maaco where they are sanding the cars in the same room they are painting--dust flying all over.
I worked at 2 different MAACOs in the early 90s, you guys probably got screwed worse than you think. First off, you probably didn't get a urethane paint job, you probably got acrylic enamel with an additive put into it. They used to call it "integrated clear coat", but it was really just an additive. As far as paying for a higher tier of prep work; all customers got the same amount of prep work no matter what they paid; and that's 7.5 minutes of sanding and 7.5 minutes of masking, for a total of 15 minutes of prep. Guys that work at MAACO are actually quite skilled at prepping and painting; you get good when you paint 20 to 40 cars a day. A lot of those guys go on to work on painting trucks or aircraft and they're great at it. Also, MAACO and AAMCO are the same company, and they specialize in doing cheap, sloppy work. If you can't afford a proper paint job, an alternative is to find out if any of the MAACO guys are doing side work and make a deal with them on the sly. They can do much better work when they aren't pressured to paint your car and 30 others by the end of the day. There's also community colleges and high schools with paint & body classes, sometimes you can get a deal by letting students do your paint and body, it's definitely worth asking. You'd also do better to buy your own paint from a local distributor. You can get low or middle tier PPG or DuPont urethane base/clear kits for a reasonable price and pass the material along to your paint guys, at least you know you're getting a urethane base clear that way.
I really appreciate the info 🤘🏼
Thinking about Trying the entire paint process on another project
@@SpiritDriven Like I mentioned, it's worth checking your local trade school or high school auto body program. When I was in VoTech school, we did customer cars but we were only allowed to charge the cost of materials and we were supervised by veteran auto paint and body teachers. I still have a polaroid of the first car I ever painted; a baby blue VW Beatle that was brought into my VoTech class by a customer in 1989. And having the local VoTech kids paint a car for you might also make a fun series of videos as well as a good advertisement for your local school!
@@letsleepingdogslie4692 yup asking a trade school is the go to move. My brother attended a trade high school, all the work was free of charge, you just paid for the materials. Sure the one bumper was slightly, off if you really stared at it but, who's going to complain for free labor, and heavily discounted product. I think I paid like $20 to have a bumper done.
As a former painter at maaco.....you get what you pay for.a good paintjob done right,using urethane paint,start around $5000.going to maaco and expecting a good job is like going to mcdonalds and expecting a steak diner.you want a good paintjob,pry open your wallet.
@@thewiseguy3529 grow up,little boy.you act like a third grader.people like you dont like truth.99% of people know maaco is not a quality shop.no sense of you acting like you are .lets all be adults,ok.
I would never be proud to say I was a former painter for Maaco. They're literally known for giving the worst paint jobs. Any single stage paint job is bad idc how you put it orange peeled to hell and just no mirror finish. Marco has no pride in their work they just want quick easy money.
@@michealneal1078 where do you think most painters get their training?and frankly,l really dont care what your opinion is about me or anything else.
@@michealneal1078it’s impossible to judge all maaco …. Some like the one in langley bc Canada where I live , the quality is pretty good if u pay up extra … how many times has someone on the past said , just paint it , I don’t care about perfect, it’s a cheap car. Then the peanut gallery after the fact says how can a professional do this and that … that’s why most hood shops won’t do rust repair etc .
At 4:40, I heard you say you sanded it all perfect, a good paint job is 95% prep!!! I have painted high-end trucks and cars that customers "preped"for me, and all I did was get it in the booth and spray it, some preppers know what they're doing and some do not.
Still looks pretty good though. Maaco was probably just butthurt because they couldnt charge you extra for bodywork🤣
Lol right!! Saved us almost $800 😂😂
First off......Did you ask the store manager for any customer's you can call for references?
Second.....Did you ask the manager who was going to be spraying your car? Yes, $1k is a lot of money to some people....to a lot of people. I'd want to know who my painter was going to be. I'd want to speak with him. You know what? $100 cash is also a lot of money to some painters. Like the one getting ready to work on YOUR car. So the total goes to $1100....maybe even $1200. You'd be AMAZED at what the finished product will look like when you tell the painter, "And there's another bill waiting and depending of the final outcome."
I promise you.....this really works. When I was a mobile detailer, I flipped a few used cars every month or so. I built up a great relationship with my MAACO and painters.
Also remember, a gallon of high quality basecoat then say 2 coats of a 2k clear coat coming out of a quality gun, plus other supplies, will cost $1k alone.
Call manager and speak to painter hmmm yeah for 1k :D
@@kiklop8362 a lot of people do recommend this. If you give the painter an extra $200 they may do a better job. It’s worth a try.
Yea man I had a similar experience. They painted my tail pipes, plastic molding it was pretty bad. That was in the late 90’s. I see not much has changed.
There's been a misalignment between customer expectations and paint shop's output for years.
The customer is right to expect the job to be done correctly.
My brother did car show quality work for people years ago for regular paint shop rates.
He did a lot of cool stuff, but stopped when a guy stiffed him.
There's always someone who has to fug it up for the rest of us
Sorry to hear that but it's a quick fix for him: don't release the car until he's paid. By law it's called a 'workers lien'. No pay, no car.
@@bluepredator1 Yeah... Mistakes were made. LOL
Well in a world that's ever changing it's nice to know that Maaco still does a medoicre paint job for $1000. At least you got the urethane so it won't start peeling in 6 weeks. I know you needed to experience this for yourself, but compared to some Maaco jobs this looks really nice.
Thanks so much! Super happy with it
We cheaped out on the second Miata and got enamel, no chipping or peeling yet haha
Earl scheib is better
Why do you think urethane does not peel?
@@aakar88 I didn't say it wouldn't ever peel. For cheap Maaco/Sheib jobs urethane lasts longer than enamel from what I've seen. That may just be the way things work around here with our temps and humidity and you may have the opposite experience in your neck of the woods 👍
@@Gowaduv Temps and humidity do not cause peeling, bad prep work does
You got a good deal. I used to paint cars for a living. Last car I had painted I subbed out to Maaco in 2005. They came in $75 under what I would have charged myself in straight time off from my yacht engineer job. Amatures have no idea how low the margins are on repaints. To wake that up even more, cut it with wetsand down to 4000 micron cut and buff it, then get a straight razor and you can use the paint job as a mirror. That is the true test of surface polish!
The window overspray and the tapeline would require remedy from me before I pay, however.
Thanks for the heads up on the van nuys shop i was planning on taking my m3 for a respray there
No worries! Tell Melissa we said hey if you go to the Oxnard location! Way better experience there 👍🏼
We had a guy from Maaco come in when I was taking autobody classes. He told us that people were fired for working at a pace that was too slow for them. I feel like a lot of people start at Maaco as a first job because they don't really require any experience unless you're paining. It's definitely not a place you should go if you're looking for good quality. 3 days is insane for a full paint job where I work. Like other people said, you get what you pay for. It could be great for an old an old beater or if you find a good location with good experienced workers.
I think with Maaco you really want to do all the masking yourself. and remove any weather stripping you don't want painted. (like you guys did) You don't want to leave any prep work up to them.
Thats pretty much how it is you are basically taking it there to be sprayed! If want it to look remotely passable at a glance you have to do all the masking & other stuff yourself!
I got the black enamel $599 paint job from maaco and it honestly came out pretty good. I’m convinced that of your going to go with maaco, go with black. My car was already black so I didn’t have them do door jams or anything.
How’s it holding up? Any peeling or anything like that?
@@patrickpatterson3735 it was about 3 years ago ago but I had no complaints. I got rid of the car about a year ago so I’d imagine it’s still in pretty good shape.
Yeah I would just paint it the same color and save a few headaches. I did that and it came out fine...
This video is really helpful thank you for making it really simple and straight forward 🙏🏻 I might just go to a local auto paint place to get mine painted since I care about my little project Miata lmao
Well just choose wisely
We took our other Miata to a different Maaco and they did a great job
Thank you bro I live in the same area really appreciate this video🙏 new subscriber
Welcome aboard! Haha always happy to help dude 👍🏼
The one in ORANGE CA does a nice job. but plan on paying some more than the base price. for about 1500 you get a pretty good job. they even fixed some extra dents.
Just had my truck painted there and they did fine... I'll second that!
Urethane and integrated clear coat is the option you chose right? Does it also have sparkles/glitter within the paint? I have a silver metallic e36 and I hope they can repaint it correctly
Yep that’s the one we chose
Our specific color is completely flat so there are no sparkles or glitter in the paint
But they will do it if you find the right code 💪🏼
Very decent paint job for only a grand….just decent paint job gonna cost $4-5K….thanks for sharing your videos, it’s of primary benefit to folks thinking their gonna get a classy paint job for a measly grand, keep the expectations in line with the money spent and all will be well…
Lots of people have been saying I’ve been complaining that it wasn’t perfect but exactly as you said I was just stating what you have to deal with for the price
I’m overall happy with the work
Thanks for watching!
Excuse my ignorance but i feel like they should’ve done better on the window rug and exhaust
It’s really is a nice color. Looks good 👍
Thanks m8!
Maaco, to my understanding, is completely franchisee. It makes sense that there would be variability in quality from one location to the next. Van Nuys? Wow...
Wow.. funny I was about to go to this very Maaco. You just saved me a hassle !
Glad we could help!
@@SpiritDriven ( did they fix the mistakes ?)
@@lesack they did!
When I was a kid, Earl Scheib painted "any car for $19.95"....honest.
Thank you for the Oxnard recommendation 🙏🏻
Tell Melissa we said Hey!!
Hey man I highly reccomend siggys auto body in Compton CA he did my Miata single stage paint for 800 without doing any prep myself and it came out really good and he pays a lot more attention to the little things
Thanks for the input man!! I’ll look into it for the next project
What’s the number?
LMAO. Hey it's MAACO. I hope you didn't have a high expectation. But Miata looks good from far.
Not high but just didn’t want blue interior!
@@T12i99iN we’ll get it back up and cleaned
Just waiting for some more parts comin in 👍🏼🙏🏼
It's also a $1000 paint job. You get what you pay for.
For the money, not bad at all. At least most items are correctable. You definitely got what you paid for. Thanks for sharing.. I'd definitely go this route for a beater or a track car..
Thanks for watching! Super happy all In all,
Can’t complain for the amount of money spent
That reminds me of the earl scheib paint jobs you could get in nyc. They’d spray anything you didn’t tape up. Lol
Yeah, but it was only $39.99! Philly area, too, Ha! I think if you drove over 50mph the paint would fly off in sheets. Talk about roll them in, get 'em out asap! Next!
Whatever you do, do NOT take your car to The Santa Rosa, CA. Maaco. You have been warned.
I mean... For 1100 bucks this seems pretty legit honestly
Honestly super happy with it
To get a factory-style paintjob ranges $4,500 to $10,000+ depending on your ZIP code. Don't understand how people can complain after getting a $1,000 Maaco paintjob. Every extra dollar you spend buys you less overspray, less imperfections, less orangepeel, etc.
@@sasazapadnik9335 sounds like you didn’t watch the whole video, I’m super pleased with the paint job 😊
@@SpiritDriven I did watch it but these videos are a recurring theme. Next: "I bought a Big Mac from McDonalds and it didn't taste like a $40 hamburger"
@@sasazapadnik9335 lmao I understand totally
I’ve just never had a car painted before and wanted to show my experience with them thats all
When I looked into Maaco once, I was told that the car can't have any major issues (rust, body damage, etc) or they won't pain the car. I mean it's logical, but basically it's probably how they can gaurantee their work. Either way, it's probably not worth doing. I mean to do it right, everything needs to be sanded, all rust needs to be removed and repaired, it needs to be primed and then painted and cured properly, which could take up to a week depending on the vehicle and the amount of work involved. If I ever needed to repaint a car so it looked reasonable, I'd almost just paint it matte black with spray paint, but usually I get rid of cars before they need serious paint work.
Looks like a pretty good paint job to me compared to paint shops want to charge here in northern Nevada. I was was quoted from 12k to 20k to paint my 85 GMC Sierra.
Damn I live in Northern Nevada too and was thinking about going to MAACO lol
the maaco “we don’t give a fuck” special hah
😂😂😂
Nice touch, even the cobwebs were blue.
You can get a great paint job at MAACO. Take them a car that is properly prepped. Remove all trim, handles, mirrors, etc. Wash car 4 or 5 times with IVORY dish detegent. Removes all trace of waxes. Wipe it down with PreSol. If you show some car they will show you some extra car also. Had several cars painted by MAACO over the years. Ya got to prep it yourself.
This a rlly underrated Chanel jus seen like 5 of ur vids
Thanks so much for the support 🙏🏼
Looks smurfin’ good from 20 feet away! Sorry they smurfed up your exhaust.
This is an example for me that if you want something to be good do it by yourself
This confirms it, when painting my project, I'm breaking down all the trim and pulling the bumpers/lights.
You'll be a lot happier bringing them a shell, less taping for them
Ok now you got a $1100 paint job. Overall the color isn’t bad. How much are you going to spend to remove all the over spray? Can you use thinner or acetone for a diy? Thanks
There’s a couple options
But for the windows we just got a razor blade and scraped it off
As far as interior they fixed that
And under the hood and undercarriage we’ll be removing everything and respraying it
You got Maaco-ed bro. My personal experience, I won’t do it again or recommend them.
Went thru same, manager laughed at us, it lasted a little over the warranty. Now it has rust splotches where there was paint. We thought it was going to enhance the cars appearance. Now we don’t worry about break in, we worry that it will be towed.
Dang
We’re just gonna try our hand at paint next time
MAACO painter our 1995 GMC truck in 2017. It still looks new after 6 years.
My dad took his Chevy truck to earl scheib in the 70s they painted over the dirt on the tail gate 🤪
Seems like if a person is willing to mask/remove parts from the car themselves, this can be a great deal.
Then take it to a professional detail shop for cut and buff.
You got the right idea 🤘🏼
I had my van painted by Maaco of Bremerton. It started rusting within a year and what I discovered is they did not use any primer under the paint. So where ever they grinded down to bare metal there was no body filler and no primer. They only warranty the paint itself and not the prep work. I paid them too dollars , I wasn't a cheap customer asking them to skip steps.
Dang how did you find out they didn’t use primer?! I’m kind of suspicious that they didn’t use any primer on our too
Thanks for sharing this. I was looking at getting my 88 Park Ave painted. Too many horror stories about Maaco, especially in Washington State.
i will never forget the first maaco paint job i saw when he picked it up windows where rolled down when he rolled them up they where the same green as his car
Great video
My man Mark! Appreciate you bro
"if you have a shitbox, go to Maaco". 😆
Words of wisdom
I think for 1100 it's great! I work at a body shop and we charge 3 times as much. It would be a 10 times better finish. I will say the over spray on that is ridiculous
I’m super happy with it yeah!
Just hate the overspray
I’ll get everything cleaned up eventually
Currently replacing seals and what not
@@SpiritDriven looks good. I love that color
@@sphdg appreciate ya! We do too such a sick color
@port nutI have 3 Maaco videos this is the most popular one
I paid $1400 for rust repair and paint at Maaco . I got over spray too.
The rust came back less than year later.
Mine is the same color too.
I literally live in Van Nuys and I will drive to Oxnard. Thanks bro
Tell Melissa we sent ya! She’s actually doing a special right now if you go in this week!
I have to fix my dents and brakes first. Paint is for next month possibly July
I would love to find a shop doing paint for 1k that is much better. I guess I get what macco is and I keep my expectations low. You did all the hard stuff yourself to make sure it was done right so the things you pointed out really shouldn't have come out
Someone gets it! Thank you
there's no reason in the world why a paint shop that does absolutely nothing but paint vehicles should f**k up a paint job...anything less than on point is unacceptable in my opinion,especially for the high tiered options
Someone gets it 👍🏼
High tiered 😂 you want it done right, it'll cost you 7k all day long. You go to maaco for cheap quick work. This video made me laugh though, for the price, looks 👍
A proper painjob costs $5-10k not $1,000. Places like MAACO and Earl Schieb just mask stuff up and paint without removing anything. They are notorious for being shit and having massive overspray, getting paint everywhere it should be, missing spots, and having a poor finish. This is not high tier. This is the lowest tier option possible to pay a car other than buy some spray cans at walmart and do it yourself lol.
No matter where you go, for that price your going to get what you got. They used to always paint the tires. Consider yourself lucky!!
Great reviews I wanted to paint my car too but different maaco does differently 😩😩
Thank you!!!
Yeah just do some research before you pull the trigger
I’m glad I watched this, I was thinking about going to Macco too. Bogus as hell!
It's not bogus at all. This is what you get in a $1,000 paint job. If you want good work, you need to spend 5k minimum.
Any less money and you’re shaking cans to paint.
if you ask them to block off the radiator, mask off the exhaust & suspension, will they do it? or is it something you have to pay for?
You gotta do it yourself, found out too late lol
Or what I am going to do from now on is if I get a project car that needs paint and body work
I’ll just get that done first and then replace/refinish everything else that they overspray on
Luv the Blue brother!!!
Thank you my man!! 🤘🏼
I'll never understand why anyone would stance a Miata---it's like saying "I want to fuck up my handling, AND look dorky doing it"
There’s a reason why we are building another miata on our channel 😂
One for stance and one for daily/track time
Exactly. Would be the same as pulling a 2JZ and replacing with a cavalier 2.2
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well done, truthful without degrading them. Sorta get what you pay for with them.
Rattle can or two (one flat+ one satin/ NO GLOSS)along with decent tape lines will hide alot of this
I had got a $300 macco job a few years back and it wasnt factory finish but i was impressed with what they did for the price
Bro, how can you be so calm? I would be F***** pissed. This is a very bad paint job... thanks for the heads up about the maaco.
They did fix all the mistakes they made we took it back the following week!
Also we sent our other miata down to a different Maaco and results were waaaaay better
That video should be up Monday or Tuesday 👍🏼
Maaco advertises a $499 paint job, but they’re crooks and liars. You can’t get a paint job there for $499 because they tack on all these fees and try to up sell you. $850 was the cheapest I could get there. I hate crooks and liars.
True but you can tell them you just want it shot
But they won’t warranty if you skip out on the add ons
When I started working in this business 10 years ago my first shop was maaco. They cut so many corners and I remember an older woman dropped her car off to get a paint.job (paint and clear coat) and right before it's about to be painted the boss man comes over and tells the painter to use single stage even though base and clear was paid for. I lasted about another week and said nope, I'm out
@@Whitening98 yikes which location was that?
@@SpiritDriven I'm from Texas and I don't even know if that location is still open. Shady people... Your video just popped up on my feed and so I watched it. Ill probably be going through all your videos now lol
@@Whitening98 aye hoping to move to Texas soon to buy our first home!!
Glad to have you along for the ride brother 🤙🏼
Appreciate the support!
So random this video was recommended to me plus you mentioned Oxnard my home town :,)
Ayyyyye 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Do what I did when I did the body on my 73 MGB, painted it myself. I bought a Nason single stage paint for around 300 Canadian. Buffed afterward, there was no overspray and done to my satisfaction, not a show car job but, it is a car I just drive.
that overspray is not ok, what a joke.
All maacos are different when it comes to quality work. I got my car painted by a maaco and it came out beautiful. Sure I can pick out miniscule flaws but nothing I was unhappy with. This is pretty disrespectful.
MACCO in Oxnard, got it. Thank you, I wanna get that exact color for my future NA Miata when I own it, I plan on keeping my NA Miata 99% stock with quality of life improvements, so very minor cosmetic mods, otherwise its gonna look like a brand new stock Miata on the outside. That's my goal. I live in Glendale and I consider Van Nuys to have a lot of sketchy businesses. I mean so does Glendale with the Armenians over pricing you but most of them at least take care of your car, they just screw you over in price.
Oh man that’s KIND of like how we’re building the 95M project
Just simple stuff
It’s such a fun car on its own
@@SpiritDriven Without a doubt I am sure, I just need to be on the lookout. Currently saving up money for one as a 2nd car to learn stick and work on the car, I've been checking places like Craigslist but the prices are either high for a really well taken care of one, or low for a total shitbox that's automatic. I don't care if its a 1.6 or 1.8 so long as its not one with a short nose crank. That's why I'm looking at years 1991-1997 only for the NA.
@@spirit_green I wish you luck
Ayeee I’m about to start some bodywork for my 300zx and I’m prob gonna send it to maaco too lol
Oh hell yeah man! Wish you the best! Send us a before and after to our IG
Can’t wait to see it!
@@SpiritDriven gonna be a little while before it’s done but I followed you guys! @zdirtay1 on ig
Damn dude! Were they drunk when they painted it? 🙈
Look the interior, the exhaust and the windows 😱
Despite all, that blue is so cool man 😍
Dude they must have been! 😂😂😂
Hopefully it looks better when we pick it up in a couple days
This made me so happy to see this happened to your cheap ass. This helps us with real body shop justify our work.
Lol I ain’t worried about it
Paint still looks sweet! Just had to fix some small things
For people on a budget, Maaco is great and I got no regrets
Appreciate you watching the video bro! 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Maaco did my CRX with the premium 1500 to 2000 paintjob they did very good for being Maaco. They had the car for 4 months and they had to respray several times but in the end I could not complain for the price.
Was it getting body work done too?
I feel like 4 months is a long time for a Maaco
Unless it was like a full resto?
@@SpiritDriven Yes that also meant body work, Removal of the Glass on all the sides, removing the door panels , Taking out engine and tucking the wires away so they could spray in the engine bay. Plus installation of the Mugen body kit so yes quite a bit it was a basic Resto mod. Short of spraying the Whole chassis which would of been more work more time.
I think I saw this car around Canoga Park. I've got a white NB!
That’s us!!
I've got eighteen years in auto paint, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, did Corvettes for a Chevy dealership, I had a manager of a maico offer me a job, while I was doing custom work, and folks it doesn't matter what shop you go to, good paint work is going to cost you money, if you got a paint job for a thousand bucks that looks good for more than a year you won!!!
Any shop maico, Earl scheib, doesn't matter the name on the building, they are capable of doing show quality paint work, good paint work does not come cheap.
Back in 1985 my grandmother took her yellow with black vinyl top 1969 Chevrolet Caprice to Earl Sheib for a repaint and she didn't specify to mask anything off and they literally painted the whole damn thing including emblems, top and bumpers.
Oh my god I’d lose my mind 😂😂
Getting ready to do my truck and after watching a few of these vids, it just seem like a crap shoot for how it will turn out from Maaco i.e., one guy paid $1200, orange peel everywhere, another guy paid $600 and his was like glass. But I'm going into it knowing there will probably be orange peel, but even with that, the price is to good for what you get and I'm not looking for showroom, maybe I'll get lucky and get the glass, lol. Thanks for the vid and breakdown of everything!
Appreciate you not attacking me like everyone else lol
I’m hoping you get the glass guy!! Hahaha
Definitely a crap shoot though yes
We have a couple other Maaco videos on our channel
Similar outcomes but less overspray haha
i'm glad u called them people out.
Lacquer thinner will be your friend to get that overspray off the windows and exhaust
