Nice! Really makes a difference. Where you get it done? The old 89 needs some paint and not sure if I want to sell it or not.

No, just get some amber bulbs to toss in instead of clear and you're all set :)

This post reminds me of a Billy May's commercial.
Billy Mays here with a fantastic new product. Look at this terrible paint on an IROC and look at it after i spread some of this fresh paint all over this car!


It looks really nice who painted it?

hey did maaco do all the prep too or did you do some cause that looks pretty good for maaco's reputation your making me consider takin a ride over there, you happy with the outcome? my cars startin to need paint and i like the sound of 1000 bucks flat

For 1000 I would imagine they would have done some prep. A guy I ran into a few weeks ago got his done there for 600 and he did the prep work himself.

Im extremely happy with the outcome, I drove the car around the way it was before it was painted for over 2 years

The only prep work I did myself, was remove the louvers,if that even counts. I choose the Supreme package ($479.99) One step below the top package which is $1000.
The supreme package includes all the prep work within that price. Any package below the supreme package you have to add on a prep-work package which costs 129, unless you do it yourself.

What made the price go up from 479, to me paying a thousand was:

Re-Paint Headlight Pockets
Remove Roll Stripes ($100)
Sand and Prime front cover
Repair Rear cover and Prime
Allaign Hood
Repair Hood dents
Repair right door ding below molding
Repair right fender rear edge

I had them mask off IROC-Z, and "TUNED PORT INJECTION"

did the mask off turn out good or can you tell they did it cause i may just get new decals.

if i do the prep work in house and then send it to maaco will they look over it and finish anything i missed and then paint it for a cheaper price?

sorry for all the questions i wanna see what i can do lol

The masking of was perfect, the decals look as they did before..

and im sure if you do the prep work in house and then bring it to them they will make sure everything is in order, just bring in down there to em man theyll take care of you. the guy the worked with me was very helpful and honest and i would recommend them to anyone. trust me ive put my life and sould into my car literally, i could go on for hours of stories involved with this car...i wasent goin get no **** job! :evil:
