Maaco Paint Job Review BMW E30 - You Get What You Pay For
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- I walk you through my cheap Maaco Paint Job on the BMW 318i E30. The paint job was a grand so was not expecting anything perfect but... It's a really quick review where I point out some orange peel and other small flaws. It's a decent job for the price but it comes with it's flaws and frustrations. Is it worth it? you to decide!
I hope this helps at least one person decide whether or not to go the cheap route when painting a car or to save the money towards a more custom / professional job.

Beautiful E30. Just a suggestion. Never use those brushes at the bay wash. They’re constantly dropped which then picks up debris and dirt from the ground and that’s guaranteed to scratch your fresh paint job. I recommend watching AMMO NYC or Pan The Organizer TH-cam channels for detailing tips.
Didn't think about that! Thanks for the tips. I will check out those channels. Thanks again!
Yup. Even if you spray that brush out before using it, it won't be enough. You are scrubbing the stones into the paint from all of the previous vehicles before you.
haha i was freaking out when he started using that brush
That made me cringe
*gets new paint job*
*uses car wash brush to scratch his paint instead of using just the foam*
*uses a rag/t-shirt to dry car to drag all the leftover dirt across his paint instead of using microfiber cloth*
*complains about paint job*
*facepalm*
:(
@@Whatmonstersdo Hey you deserved that comment 110% my dude lol. Can't be a car guy and not know how to take care of your paint. I mean Jesus you washed the wheels before doing the body, that's sacrilege. But it's your car man, wash it with a steel wool pad if you want.
I'm wondering why you did this video in the shade instead of the sun where we could really see what the paint and clear coat actually looked like.
@@jmmyjimmy106 I really do
Dude for 1000 dollars the car looks great. You have to remember, unless you are entering it in shows NO ONE is going to notice the things you pointed out
Looks pretty good overall. I just paid 2,300 for a Maaco paint job. It's over a week now so I'm sure it will come out really good considering the price but then again I have low expectations. Im just happy to get a paint job for my car.
Yeah exactly something like this & people like are the difference between “simple & clean” and a racer who doesn’t want the clear coat and bad paint on their car and wants something consistent. My car dont need anything but the motor and suspension to beat this e30 and I got that while it looks like shit😂
you should never rush anybody thats working on your car lol
I know i know... I did rush them tbh Going to take some of the advice I got here and try to get rid of the orange peel
...or pay before picking it up and seeing it.
@@Whatmonstersdo try clay bar on your car. it's very good for removing the orange peel. then use the ultimate compound, the ultimate polish, then the ultimate wax. it will do wonders on your paint!
keep up the good work!

Hey I rebuild cars and paint and detail all the time. Depending on how much clear coat they laid down. You could get rid of the orange peel with wet sanding starting with a 3000 grit trizact pad and finish with a 5000 grit trizact pad and polishing it out with the 3 step 3M compound. And them brushes at the car wash will put swirl marks in your paint. I hope that helps you. God Bless!!!
Thanks John, will give it a shot!
What if it's their single stage enamel clear coat mix?
@@bcbp14 Once it's cured Wet sand and buff until you get a smooth slick finish. You can go to 1500 grit to cut orange peel better then go finer like 3000 just make sure you have plenty of single stage paint or clear before hand. It's easy to cut through if not careful
@@ezinvestor2989 thanks brother.
Did you just used the same broom for the wheels and new paint? This way you will scratch it pretty quickly. Anyway, you can get rid of orange peel with polishing. As no paint job is perfect, polishing should be always part of the process when getting new paint.
WeAreCarFans thank you for the suggestions. Will try polishing the orange peel for sure!
Wet sanding removes orange peel. Polish is for fine surface scratches.
I know it’s sucks but you can easily fix that chrome strip, a small polish tool would clear that up quick.
Nice old BMW! I love those older models. So much class.
Thanks Dan, always been a fan of the old school bmw's !
Great video! What was the exact name of the package you went with? Thanks!
Did you prep the car at all? Remove the trim or anything?
Dude.....just be happy maaco didnt mess it up they did good but at my maacco...... they charge 299 for that paint job
:(
Yeah they charge 400 at my maaco, I’m currently prepping my 1984 300zx
lol i just got quoted 1500 for the cheapest maaco deal in oceanside california where is your maaco located
I got the 299 special

For a g it looks great... You can mothers that chrome trim and wet sand and buff the orange peel out
Thank you! Will look into wet sand
no offence but if you had a train eye for good paint jobs, I like to think you would also know using a self serve car wash brush is going to scratch up the paint esp after wiping your tires with the same brush you just then swipe over the paint job, wow it would be hard to tell anything about that maaco paint job after that car wash .. Listen, If you gotta use a self serve car wash, go late at night or early in the morning, take a bucket with a car wash MIT, fill it up at home with soap and water, have a bucket with the lid and one of those debris catcher plates in the bottom, spray the car down with the self serve pressure washer from the top down top down so your spraying the hardened road dirt downwards vs up or across your paint. once wet, soap it up with car self wash soap spray, then wash it with the MIT in the bucket of soapy car wash water and again, top to bottom, start at top again, top to bottom, I am not expert but look using a self serve car wash brush on your tires then the paint was crazy. I just was in shock watching you wash your new painted car with the same wash brush you just swipe over your dirty car tires with then lol your talking about a trained eye, dude you do not have a trained eye for anything but destruction.Now as for the Paint job, I think you got a good paint job, take care of that paint, stop using self serve cash wash brushes.
Soft black paint and brushes equals guaranteed scratches!
and now I know! :(
First off that’s now how you wash a car 😂😂 did you just clean the tire then washed the car . Smh 🤦♀️
i wash (rinse) the tires, then the car, then deep clean the tires/wheels.
I live in North Dallas, going to get my e46 painted red at Maaco. Which Maaco did you use. Overall looks good. I usually paint my own cars, so ill do all the prep work myself. Any imperfections i can fix easily.
late... macco addison
Love it! RPF1!!
I got my saab 9000turbo painted at maaco. They painted over all my chrome, including the entire bumper.
. Never pay in advance..make them feel like they have to earn the $.
Just got a quote of 2100 for their Supreme paint job. I'll be stripping the car myself and its going to be the original color. The manager told me that re paints in original colors come out the best
Subscribed, not enough e30 channels on youtube. That wheel setup and stance is fucking killer!
jtg199 thank you, really appreciate it!! Wrapping up another video which will release Monday 👍🏼 switching to silver RPF1’s.
I just saw that on your facebook page haha, they are going to look sick, your setup has convinced me to go with those black ones, now i just gotta save for a while haha
Although I don't condone the harsh criticism, car guys come in all shapes and sizes. Some New to it, some guys have been in it for a while. Nobody is perfect, I make sure my cars are mechanically sound before worrying about cosmetics. I got a 1963 Mercury and never intend it to be a show car. I have considered a MAACO paint job before. It's all about what your willing to spend. I'd rather do a 500 dollar paint job that I can keep taking back to get retouched at any given time. Rather than spend 15k. I liked the video brother, keep it up. Just try and use presoak and foam or soap next time. It's all good man! live and learn. Beautiful car and thanks for the insight. Your video doesn't make me NOT to want a MAACO paint job. For the price, not bad.
It looks good not bad at all, you really need to eyeball it to find stuff on it
Better then I thought
Whats the wheel and tire specs? Looks awesome. Cheers
Adam Burzynski thanks! RPF1 matte black 15x8 +28 4x100, R888R 225/50/15 👍🏼
WHAT MONSTERS DO same spex on my e30 but I have pirelli trofeo Rs
Incredibly light wheels man! Any rubbing? you´re using ring adaptors and NO spacers right? I´m planning on running these in my endurance e30. Thank you up front form the reply
20mm spacer no adapters :)
You can buy and replace the Trim Molding edges. Super easy to replace
You get what you deserve. Can't believe you used that brush on the car, especially after first doing the wheels and then the paint. WOW!
That's a beautiful bmw E30
Thank you!!!
Most e30 this old rust away because the owners cant afford a professional paint job. Mine is bad too but over here in cermany there are no maaco like paint shops. Either you do it on your own or pay at least 2500+ dollars for a decent paint job. Because of that so many old cars rot away. Apart from that keeping it road legal is much more expensive.every two years you need to get it inspected by private institutions called "TÜV". They are strict as hell...
What are those wheels specs ? Car looks aggressive 👌👍
Great video! Such a cute dog, and awesome car!
thank you, trading the dog for a new set of wheels ;)
golden doooodle!! ive had a factory color respray from maaco on a truck i used to own..overspray everywhere, orange peel, etc. hard to say i would ever go back. definitely saving up and having it done the right way the first time for my next paint job i have done
matthew fruia Definitely! Orange peel bothers me so much 😂 it’s not horrible but still
@matthew so ur will to send the value of the car on a paint job?
man I think that looks great
thank you!
$1000 and they still fucked it up?!!! Bruh that’s a $500 paint job.
RPF1!! Great wheels!
wow, scrubbing the paint after you use it on the wheel is not the way to do it i cringed
I know I know! Learning not to be an idiot! haha thanks for the feedback!
bro you washed your wheels then immediately used that brush on the paint? sicko 😂
Nice rims and tires
Thank you! 15x8 Enkei RPF1, Toyo R888R 225/50/15
Your supposed to wait a month before you wash your car after it's painted
What’s included for the 1000?
Did you do any work prior?
Sanding, primer, coat, and clear coat. Didnt do anything else to it prior but in retrospect, I would have taken the door dings out.
What color was the car before? It looks fine on camera and for $1,000.
Thank you! It was silver with a funky western style blue pin stripe.
Looks great

I need my 2001 Buick Century repainted. I'm South off William Cannon.
Just shadowline that trim black
Just googled shadowline... I think I'm going to go for it
What’s your wheel fitment setup?
I have a 07 infinity m35 were do I go and around what price
Excellent paint job for the money
you can not go to one of those self service car washes and then complain about imperfections in your paint. there are whole rocks in those brushes. people just throw them on the floor. those car washes are made for people running away from the police to disguise their car mid chase by tearing off the paint as quickly as technologically possible.
I want this work
Definitely get what you pay for, but still a super clean E30
Did you just move that scrubbing brush from your wheels to the body of the car 🤦🏽♂️
What’s the brand of the tyre ?
Toyo R888R
WHAT MONSTERS DO thanks!
Hey this a great vid! Much like the video I made spray painting my e30 carpets 😂 you get what you pay for haha
haha thanks man!
@@Whatmonstersdo i came across your. Video, your csr doesn't look bad, just take it to a detailer and get a paint correction , if you still have that car ...
Do I take my '69 Charger there?
that would be a NO
@5:26 that's contamination, either no proper surface prep or bad body work
Chrome trim which you can’t replace or buff out? Huh? What is you talkin bout fool. U can get em from the dealer, and I’m sure off eBay or elsewhere online. Even from a junkyard
C'mon man.... this is a bad video. The paint could be wet sanded/buffed/polished and look amazing. You can use paint stripper on the rubber parts and then re die the rubber. You're making MAACO look worse than it is
good job sir
Nice car man. Don’t use the brush at the car wash.
Worries about paint..drags brush on ground at the car wash.
It wasn’t what you spent its which macco you went too
It looks great or you could have spent 3k
what is your wheel setup
Enkei RPF1 15x8 +28 4x100, Toyo Tires R888r 225/50/15
nice car
thanks!!!
A lot of good suggestions here so far, you should have had the door dings done first, also hand wash your car with proper clean micro towels, also you need to let paint cure for a period before anything other than light water hose down. Stupid premise of your video based on what you did . If you did better prior prep then you’re 1,000 bucks would have been better spent and looked and lasted longer. Also if you sell the car you might get that -
1K back.... on the plus side I do like your car and am looking for one as a project car... ( but for the love of god ....learn how to wash a car please sir)
Your paint job shouldn't cost more than the car.
THE BRUSHES> OHH MAN. lol
Well you just ruined your paint washing it with a damn car wash brush
Omg if you're going to nitpick every little thing then you should pay five to seven grand for the paint job
What about the b4 pictures damn smdh I've looked on 10 aboit utube vids and only 1 guy showed b4 and after.whole.video.is.pointless
That grill is ugly get it chrome
Cringe. He used the brush
