Micah Hill I did that with my Penske rental truck. Because it was capped out at 76 mph I just put a brick on the gas pedal so I could go above the speed limit lol.
For three hundred dollars it came out beautifully. Great colour and someone can get the paint corrected if they choose. For what your asking there should be a good margin for the next owner to make it what they want. The heavy lifting has been done.
300 paint job looks awesome. I actually had a 1976 Chevy luv pickup custom painted about that color. Ppl said it was ugly but that's why I bought it because I thought she was beautiful. Love the channel and keep those vids coming. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Long, LONG ago, before my military days while I was still in high school, I worked at a Maaco Auto Painting in Hazel Park Michigan. You would not believe what people expected from even their cheapest paint job. They would expect their beaten down beaten up wrecks without a straight piece of sheet metal on them anywhere, to run, drive and look as if they just came off a Dealership Floor. By the way, that BMW looks great!
Man that bmw looks really nice like the color never knew that color would look good on that bmw and damn randy your car collection you have going on there looks good man one day I’ll be like you man keep up the good work man god bless you
A number of years ago I had a 1977 BMW 320i rebuilt which included a $500 paint job from maaco in corpus Christi Texas. It came out beautifully, I had absolutely no complaints with what the maaco shop gave me for $500. I'd use them again for sure. Your BMW looks awesome by the way.
Dude love the Sunkist Orange looks really good for three hundred bucks you can't fucken beat it definitely worth it it's not even that bad especially for $300 out the door plus its Maaco so hell yeah brother keep on rockin and rollin with the videos
I worked for a company in the 80s that owned 5 Maaco stores and you are right about how to get quality paint jobs. One way to get good jobs is to do some prep yourself.
Nice job for the price! Only thing I would do next is try to correct the front bumper corner gaps thats seems to be off… Thanks for the entertaining content
93 LS400 pearl white. Maaco repaired and repainted the damaged hood, fender, bumper and silver rockers and you could not tell the repainted panels from the original Lexus panels. Color matched perfectly and finish was equally good. I'm a believer.
Years ago my dad and I used Maaco on an old black '89 Towncar which had potential, a nice cloth top and dirty but very nice black leather, but we didn't wanna spend a fortune on it, was supposed to be a car to flip. They sprayed it even w/ black metallic for around $800 I believe, applied a nice white pinstripe, left a lot of fine orange peel, which we were OK with, we just didn't want a bunch of runs. Back then, my dad and I did about 4 cars a year as a hobby. We knew about the weak hardener, when we got it back, we left it in the back yard and let it bake in the sun. I washed it w/ the special soap they gave us and brought it inside, did the paint correction myself. It turned out to be one of the prettiest cars we ever had. Wound up sorting the car completely, and dad decided to sell his '84 Towncar (complete creampuff w/ 68k miles on it) and keep the '89. I detailed the interior, it was perfect. Wound up driving that car on my senior prom. He finally traded it on a beautiful dark blue '90 Towncar that needed some mechanical work at a dealer, almost even up trade. But that was a very good Maaco success story, I would do it again with that same expectation.
@@panteleon1 sorry to burst your bubble but our e46's all came with cruise control. We even had heated seats, rain sensor wipers, and things like abs. Really quite advanced, the engineering on German cars for the home market. PS I drive a 2001 e46 though it is powered by one of satans fuels diesel engine.
The key to any good paint job is the prep. A friend told me that he always preps all his cars before taking them to Macco. He also strips everything off like taillights and trim.
Beemer looks great! Love that colour. Looking forward to seeing the panthers get some Maaco love, as well as all the other stuff you've got cookin'. :)
I look forward to the painting of the Marauder. I have a 95 Thunderbird I plan to have painted. The body is straight but the paint is totally failed. I was hoping I can get a decent paint job for about $1500.
Maaco painted my Silver Anniversary corvette 2 tone. Jams and all with clear coat for $1,800, in California. It came out really nice. There were a couple little glitches but they said no problem and fixed them very nicely. If you want a good paint job from Maaco sand and fill your self. Send it in sanded to 600 grit.
Mercury Marauder is made up of many ford cars. Rear body and floor shifter taken from crown vic LX sport. Suspension is from a crown vic P71 police interceptor. Motor is from a Cobra Mach I with 4 valves per cylinder. Horse Power 302 horses. It does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. it has a 4R7W heavy duty Tranny. The rear end has 355 gears with limited slip differential. The tail lights are tented differenly from the crown vic. This car is pretty special.
Thanks Randy, great content as always. Take care of yourself and don’t burn yourself out. The paint is eye catching. May cut the number of buyers interested, but get the right buyer and the paint job will last as long as the car. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴
Very very very good color choice Randy, and for 300$ no one can complain and say that's not a good deal, and for the marauder a 1000$ Maaco paint job and detailing and ceramic coating she's gonna look a collection classic car.
Like I said when you got the PI. Check the front hubs. Check them on all panther's. They are unit bearing style and don't hold up very good. Jack them up and spin the tire, if you hear any noise think about replacing them. They sound like they have sand in them when they are going bad.
I got my 2000 expedition painted at Macco and clear coated. I live in CA and got it done in Costa Mesa, overall it looks way better than it did. I paid 1500 and there are a lot of blemishes and runs, but at least it looks a hell of a lot better than it did!! Haha.
I paid maaco 1550 for body work and 1 stage paint, there is ornage skin look to the paint bad ob the hood up close but honestly no paint runs, nothing over spray .. other then the orange peel , it looks like a brand new factory paint job and it can be wet sanded. I was happy with my 1550 paint job and the body work was removing clear coat peel on the roof hood and rust around the wheels wells and lift gate.. I go out to my 2001 gmc yukon and feel like I have a new suv
When you were talking about the oil stains on the street I already knew you were gonna say the garbage truck, the trucks get hydraulic leaks all the time lol I used to drive for Waste Connections
Auto auction rebuilds I hope that you read this comment. But when comes to the vibration on the Lincoln it is most likely torque converter shudder, it is a common issue with the Panthers. However if you catch it early on changing the fluid and filter will fix it.
Those are solvent pops in the corner of the hood you were talking about, be careful when buffing because more then likely that’s a single stage paint job which is easy to burn through
That orange looks good and it is true some chops are better. I remember my cousin got his regal painted and it look good. I got my old Chrysler painted by them and people use to always ask me who painted my car because it looked so good but I never told them MaAco
People don't understand how much paint cost by itself as it's very expensive today so a $300 paint job is a loss for most shops . If I was going to paint that car it would have to be stripped down because of the lacquer primer will lift the paint up and 3 bills for tape and sandpaper plus my paint and clear coat ect.. you're looking at a $1000 bucks to spray it in the backyard if you want a perfect job in the booth 5 grand to paint this little car . Lucky is the man !! I been watching his videos and he flips these cars quick with the new paint so why wouldn't you do it this way it fast ,clean , and saves time . If Mike did this car like the Harley Davidson truck it would be a lot more as well . You get what you pay for folks so if you want a cheap paint job that's what you get !! You can prep the car and pull all the side mouldings and lights ,door handles ect... And it will come out better but you have to put in the time . Anyways great paint job for the money Randy 👍
Randy that paint looks great for $300 - I have a Geo Metro hatchback that I checked on getting painted and a man told me like $1200 for a $500 car that’s the size of a golf cart- you took a $300 car with a $300 paint job and made a $2500 car
If it was out of pads there is a metal backing plate is designed to squeak. Though as you said the warped rotors is probably from living around mountainous steep roads, or like some people just drive with their left foot constantly on the the brakes, riding them as the term is.
For $300 that's pretty damn good. I typically just plasti dip everything. It's fun and easy and if I want a new color I just peel it off. I also love the matte look of plasti dip
I really like the paint job it look so cool I really got so interested now rebuilding cars now because of you. You are such a great inspirational person
That beemer is going to be a ticket magnet. 😂
I have a 2006 325i and yes it was
Had*
@Eddie Levitt so embarrassing like what has ur life come to making a fake reply too...
*Bimmer
Wtf is a beemer
Hey Randy the loose door cards is a very Easy fix Just put new clips in and the right screws they sell them at the BMW dealer for cents!
The cruise control is under your right foot. 😂
Put a brick on the gas pedal that’s your cruise control 🤣
Micah Hill I did that with my Penske rental truck. Because it was capped out at 76 mph I just put a brick on the gas pedal so I could go above the speed limit lol.
That was funny
For three hundred dollars it came out beautifully. Great colour and someone can get the paint corrected if they choose. For what your asking there should be a good margin for the next owner to make it what they want. The heavy lifting has been done.
That bmw should see pretty close to 2k some kid is gonna fall in love with the orange paint and exhaust
Damn this resonated well with me not too long ago
looks good- shiny enough for $300 and i love the color.
Yeah goonzquad proved on the Jeep that there’s flaws in paint from factory if you watch the newest rebuild they are doing
True watch goonzsquad
I was in the Porsche dealership, and I looked at the paint , and found flaws , now I can spot them easy , I Will stare at it until I find a flaw
300 paint job looks awesome. I actually had a 1976 Chevy luv pickup custom painted about that color. Ppl said it was ugly but that's why I bought it because I thought she was beautiful. Love the channel and keep those vids coming. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The wheels need to be dark gray or black as the 2 front grills.
Here in Northumberland, England, I watch and enjoy EVERY episode !

By the way, that BMW looks great!
People expected a lot from the Earl Schieb $29.95 paint job too. I think it got up to $99.95 in the late 80s.
For $300 that looks great! Working your behind off! Can't wait for all that's coming!
Man that bmw looks really nice like the color never knew that color would look good on that bmw and damn randy your car collection you have going on there looks good man one day I’ll be like you man keep up the good work man god bless you
photom2 yeah I saw a lot of bmws and man do they look good in that color
It's a BMW, they look good in every color.
A number of years ago I had a 1977 BMW 320i rebuilt which included a $500 paint job from maaco in corpus Christi Texas. It came out beautifully, I had absolutely no complaints with what the maaco shop gave me for $500. I'd use them again for sure. Your BMW looks awesome by the way.
The paint job was better than expected. Yes there is flaws with it but it does look really good. Will be a nice car for someone.
Great transformation on a BMW that was destined for the crusher, and on a budget you gave it a new lease on life... Keep up the great work..
I would be too scared to wash the car knowing that I had a $300 paint job.
Looks a hundred times better, it will make someone very happy.
GREAT LOOKING COLOR ! SOME KID WILL LOVE IT. easy $1500 all day. GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING 👍💥💥
Hey, grats on winning the giveaway Malibu, man!
@@Ricamundo Thank you, I'll be picking it up on March 3rd. I'm definitely looking forward to meeting TK & RANDY.
Just drive it up to Stillwater. It'll sell.
Congrats
Easy 2000
the color definitely surprised me and my dad lol it's like BAM!
Thats nice you and your dad have a hobby, thats awesome (-:
@@Doors067 hes fightin for his life but this channel makes him and i focus on something and a good distraction
The bmw came out looking great Randy love the color you choose for it
Dude love the Sunkist Orange looks really good for three hundred bucks you can't fucken beat it definitely worth it it's not even that bad especially for $300 out the door plus its Maaco so hell yeah brother keep on rockin and rollin with the videos
The garbage truck takes away garbages but also leaves behind garbage juice lol
We call those salad wagon
I can confirm I used to drive a garbage truck that in fact is trash juice coming out when he's running the blade back
I worked for a company in the 80s that owned 5 Maaco stores and you are right about how to get quality paint jobs. One way to get good jobs is to do some prep yourself.
Nice job for the price! Only thing I would do next is try to correct the front bumper corner gaps thats seems to be off… Thanks for the entertaining content
Randy is just Priceless!!! I love to see clueless people trash their perfectly good cars. Randy never lets us down. Thanks Randy!!!!!!
The e46 honestly deserves being traffic cone orange at this point
Lol traffic cone lol!!
93 LS400 pearl white. Maaco repaired and repainted the damaged hood, fender, bumper and silver rockers and you could not tell the repainted panels from the original Lexus panels. Color matched perfectly and finish was equally good. I'm a believer.
New rotors and an alignment will do that thing some justice.

That's crazy.... first bmw i've ever seen without cruise control... usually there are buttons on the steering wheel for cruise
european models doesn't have cruise control
The steering wheel might be changed
@@panteleon1 sorry to burst your bubble but our e46's all came with cruise control. We even had heated seats, rain sensor wipers, and things like abs. Really quite advanced, the engineering on German cars for the home market. PS I drive a 2001 e46 though it is powered by one of satans fuels diesel engine.
If I remember correctly some of these European cars had a small stalk off of the steering column that controlled the cruise.
They did come with heated seats cruise control rain sensor wipers but all that was a part of a package which you pay extra $ .
The key to any good paint job is the prep. A friend told me that he always preps all his cars before taking them to Macco. He also strips everything off like taillights and trim.
Beemer looks great! Love that colour. Looking forward to seeing the panthers get some Maaco love, as well as all the other stuff you've got cookin'. :)
$300 is a steal. The paint looks flawless for this type of car. No need to spend anymore.
I love that bmw not gonna lie
I love these maaco paint job vids the cars have a total day n night difference
That maaco is literally 3 miles from me. I was super excited for the new harbor freight caddy corner from where you're at across from Home Depot
That colour suits that car 100% looks awesome!
His voice sounds like kermit and now I can't unhear it.
Ruined it
Lmaoooo I can't unhear it because of your comment
The Best transformation I have ever seen!!!! Great job!

Randy, will strongly recommend driver's seat repair to get best bargain.
I know another rebuilder uses this same Maaco. They do great work Randy!
I was kind of meh at first. But it's growing on me. Never thought of an orange for a BMW. It's almost a Porsche Orange.
Mercury Marauder is made up of many ford cars. Rear body and floor shifter taken from crown vic LX sport. Suspension is from a crown vic P71 police interceptor. Motor is from a Cobra Mach I with 4 valves per cylinder. Horse Power 302 horses. It does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. it has a 4R7W heavy duty Tranny.

bring the police car to the freedom factory and race it. Cletus is talking about having a crown Vic race
Dude You Are A Legend The Marauder You Got Is So Awesome
Wow it looks amazing brilliant work thanks for the content
Randy bub you do you and dont listen to negative people as far as the BMW looks good man
Lool that Orange is insane ahhah
Thanks Randy, great content as always. Take care of yourself and don’t burn yourself out. The paint is eye catching. May cut the number of buyers interested, but get the right buyer and the paint job will last as long as the car. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴
You could probably sell that car in one weekend if you advertised it in Clemson S.C.
Yes..lol
Exactly. Go Tigers!
Cruise control on your BMW is on the turn indicator lever. Press it forward to set it and it should show up on your instrument cluster.
Now it REALLY looks like a bomb! LOL
Actually, now the beemer should sell, after you get it safe and reliable
Reliable?
@@jellobatis116 xd
Very very very good color choice Randy, and for 300$ no one can complain and say that's not a good deal, and for the marauder a 1000$ Maaco paint job and detailing and ceramic coating she's gonna look a collection classic car.
It's an extremely base model so it simply hasn't got cruise control it's a wierd on x drive but base otherwise
thanos mousios what is x drive? Uk here
@@headlesshorseman2165 I dont think we got the e46 with x drive here in the UK but X drive is the AWD system of BMW
@@headlesshorseman2165 thats BMWs designation for all wheel drive like Audi Quattro.
I think the BMW looks so much better and it will make someone a great car
someone will love that car again, you gave the Bmw a second chance
All we need now is some matte black 6 spoke rims!!
Absolutely love Your videos!! Thanks man and keep up the great content!
If I hear "But look, it's a $300 paint job" one more time.. I'm gonna rip my own ears off
Lol
Lol

Hey,
The BMW looks really fantastic dude! Even though the color needed a few second to sink
In to my brain. LoL 👍
Good luck
Wise move jumping on that Lucky’s Wheel N Deals discount. That sunkist orange should attract a buyer quick.
If that interior was put together, around tax time an easy $2500 to $2900
Jay B I would never pay $2500 for this thing lol
I got my 2000 expedition painted at Macco and clear coated. I live in CA and got it done in Costa Mesa, overall it looks way better than it did. I paid 1500 and there are a lot of blemishes and runs, but at least it looks a hell of a lot better than it did!! Haha.

😂😂😂
That color looks awesome on that car. Paint looks good its like you said you get what you pay for. 300 paint is perfect for that car in its condition.
I've seen and learned tha iCarly cannot and will not fully bypass ANY O2 sensors on a BMW. Just an fyi.
Halloween orange and black theme would be sick. SAFE FLIP.
Lol call the trash company that trash truck needs fixed. Great video as always!
When you were talking about the oil stains on the street I already knew you were gonna say the garbage truck, the trucks get hydraulic leaks all the time lol I used to drive for Waste Connections

They did well

Hi Randy. Orange looks great on that BMW. Cant wait to see the Maurader painted. Maaco is a great deal.
Can’t miss that car for a mile.
I'm really digging that Sunkist Orange paint Randy.. Nice choice for her
That Marauder will be a real black beauty when it's done ,get er done.
Car looks a lot better I'd say more more then 2000$ great video keep up the great work thanks for sharing
That orange looks good and it is true some chops are better. I remember my cousin got his regal painted and it look good. I got my old Chrysler painted by them and people use to always ask me who painted my car because it looked so good but I never told them MaAco
love the color of the BMW every one will see it now.
A can of orange plasti dip for door jams will make a hell of a difference
People don't understand how much paint cost by itself as it's very expensive today so a $300 paint job is a loss for most shops .

Look good for $300. Paint job Randy and I do like the color for that BMW 👍👍👍👍
Randy that paint looks great for $300 - I have a Geo Metro hatchback that I checked on getting painted and a man told me like $1200 for a $500 car that’s the size of a golf cart- you took a $300 car with a $300 paint job and made a $2500 car
The BMW looks awesome watching your channel all the way from Kenya where you have many fans
If it was out of pads there is a metal backing plate is designed to squeak. Though as you said the warped rotors is probably from living around mountainous steep roads, or like some people just drive with their left foot constantly on the the brakes, riding them as the term is.
The cruise control is on the lever on the left side of the steering wheel. You need to pull it forward or back to activate it.
You don't have cruise control. Cruis control need multi function steering wheel. Fotunly it is easy to retrofit
For $300 that's pretty damn good. I typically just plasti dip everything. It's fun and easy and if I want a new color I just peel it off. I also love the matte look of plasti dip
Fricking awesome colour I just knew you’d go orange!! Looks good Randy
I really like the paint job it look so cool I really got so interested now rebuilding cars now because of you. You are such a great inspirational person
A good sounding bmw and cool color i like it shes never gonna give up
Looks good for that price a lot better than the other color 👍🏼
holy crap, that BMW, looks awesome.
Looks good Randy. $300 well spent
