Re: [AMC-List] Kim's Paint Job

[markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

A few years back I put a rear main seal in a Mustang conv that had a Maaco spray job on it. It was sharp. Nice heavy metallic dark red. No funky stuff in the metallic, no strips, no dirt, very glossy with minimal orange peal if any. The only thing it needed was better prep work. It had the body colored side moldings, so they just sprayed them in place. Other then that it was super sharp. My wife has mentioned wanting to change the color on her Jeep. If I ever get to it, I would prep it myself stripping off all the flairs and trim and take it to Maaco and let them spray it. Only problem is the nearest shop is two hours away!
