Well I have stirred up a hornets nest about Maaco in the body shop section. Long story short all the estimates for paint and final prep are high. Like REALLY high. I only want a factory paint job and I only have a few minor dents left to pull and a tiny bit of rust so I went by Maaco. Talked to the manager for a long time, explained what I wanted and my concerns and he showed me a 77 Blazer they had just done a repaint for that looked fine to me. Everything is off the car as far as trim goes. He said the would take it to metal skim and block prime seal and paint base clear for around 6000 give or take since I had already removed all the body trim and moldings. I think I’m gonna do it. The manager was knowledgeable was understanding of my apprehension of a Maaco paint job etc. the paint will be PPG which he had the codes for. That will be the next big step.
