Subject: Re: Prep, paint and shoot ...... by BillH on 2011/2/5 19:00:22 The thing with Maaco is the guys who work there, some do a decent job, some don't. I'd try to find an independent who uses PPG or equivalent. Maaco uses their own paint and their upgrades involve adding urethane catalyst to the regular paint. And you do have to tell them (and pay for) good sanding and primer. With paint, it's all in the prep. If you don't want to do the wet sanding, that's fine but at least remove all the grease and wax with a good hand wash (high concentrate of Dawn). The last time I did this on my van, I hand sanded and did the body work. A local shop put on primer, color and clear for $1,200. |
