Re: paint job

People will laugh at this, but I my 65 Dodge 440 painted by Maaco, cost me just shy of a $1000. And they worked on it for almost a month. And they did a hell of a great job. Of course I was lucky, the owner was and still is(?) a mopar freak. Was it a $6000+ paint job, no, but after wet sanding and buffing, it was a great job. The owner and I had numerous discussion before I finally let him do it. The only screw up was the dash, I forgot to take it to him with car and after realizing I forgot it, never could get it the exact color match. They mixed their own paint. With all this being said, I was probably a lucky one. Picture included.

There are a lot of variables in a paint job. How much prep work needs
to be done- Quality of paint- skill of painter- etc. Maaco says they
will do it for 1/2 price now, I think less than 400$, but what do you
get for your money? I am buying materials for painting my car, and
Nason ( lower priced Du Pont) is over $400 for just the primer and
reducers! and that is body shop price. I would like to hear more info
from other members................MO
