A lot of the jobs you hear bad from them are single stage. If you are bringing em your own paint that is base/clear, you scuff the car good, and tape off where you don't want over spray they can't really do a shitty job unless they don't know how to spray. But I doubt they would hire someone who doesn't know how.
      Really appreciate the advice man, thanks. Btw your teggy is fresh, don't sell it.

                  Holy shit... what MAACO did he go to ? And I'm pretty sure they come with 1 year warranties.

                      that just sounds like a retard not knowin hwo to put the car back together lol rule one you never let them touch anything you take lights out you tape it off and sand the car bring it to them and let them spray if your not happy with it you make them redo it. its not that hard to spray sumthing without runs lol bascally your just using there facility and tools and a worker for w.e they charge now id never let them do any body work to my car my buddy just got his 95 gsr done n in newhaven? i think it was and it came out beautiful

                              That's what I've seen too with great prep work the car can come back looking excellent also have them add extra clear its like 100 more

                                All the macco jobs ive seen the clear is on the dry side. Some worse than others. 1 year warranty isnt something to be happy about either.
