depends what maaco you go to i suppose because my dad had his 93 lifted f350 turbo diesel done a few years back and its still really really good job and no fading,flaking,rust,etc yet and its been at least a good 3 years.Im pretty sure he said the one like 10 miles down from our shop.

It also depends on how good there preppers and painters are and how much money you spend as well. But a majority of them are crap.

true but id say id be safe going to the maaco miles down from broadway any time all there jobs ive seen there have came out good enough for the money especially my dads truck.Even though he did the most expensive job stage 3 or something crap he said it is really nice and nothing wrong with it for such a big truck.i could even get photos you show people how it looks after plenty of years of sitting parked.

he did all the work himself, but his dad owns F&S Collision in troy where he and his brother (with the gunmetal cavalier) both work.

not promoting it, just sharing. my wife had her eclipse sprayed a few years ago right before we traded it in. turned out decent. she did the cheap job and got the "1/2 off paints" or whatever they call it. few runs, few tape lines, and they didn't get the lower parts of the car that well. came w/ like a 30 day deal where you could look it over and they'll fix whatever you aren't satisfied w/, but we were getting rid of it, so we didn't bother. seems like guys have had some luck w/ maaco if you do the prep yourself, and i guess you get lucky and get a painter who is decent.
