Ferretti was wrong about the Pizza car.

If you buy their top of the line paint and do ALL your own prep it can come out great. If you use middle of the road paint and do ALL your own paint it comes out decent. If you just drive up and pay them the interior will be painted along with the exterior. I have had MAACO paint on my car for over 10 years (prepped myself, mid-quality paint) and I get compliments on it every time I drive that car. It was a great value.

I have done exactly this when I was young and had no money. Do all the prep work and taping yourself. Spend the time! That is what costs money to have the pros do it. Then have someone with the right equipt just spray it. I gave them my car with all the sanding done, trim removed, lights taken out, plates removed, then after painting, put it all back together and it looked great.

I paint everything flat brown so the rust doesn't show.

Leon Allan Davis best of luck, honestly the franchise nature of Maaco is both good and bad, some franchises inspire confidence by really taking ownership of the place and others just depend on the reputation that being a part of a nationwide corporation brings to convince customers they'll do a good job. Choose wisely between franchises, differences can be night and day. Hopefully you're right and it doesn't cost >$350. Carstar is another place that's kinda similar, does more body work though and good work in my experience.

Just a few things about Maaco and apparently other cheap paint shops. Im speaking with 20 years of painting experience and i did work at Maaco for quite a few years. The "clear coat in the paint" they are selling you is bs. You either have single stage paint or or base coat clear coat paint ( with the exception of tri stage paints wich are also base clear. If you added clear to the paint it would make it so transparent you would need 50 coats to cover anything. They also try to sell you other things that you can pay for and never really get, like uv protection. Macco on average paints 8 to 10 cars a day, and that is the reason they can offer the cheap paint jobs. They make money off the volume of jobs instead of the individual job. Also most paint jobs being good or bad does come down to the preparation. If you leave imperfections you will still see them after its painted, only they will be shiny imperfections. Removing simple things such as headlights, tail lights, marker lights, window trims and mirrors will result in a better paint job. Its usually the over or under masking that people are unhappy with and not having those items to mask off will eliminate that issue. Would i take my car to Maaco? No but i have my own shop and can do it better for the same cost. If i did have a cheap car that may only last a few years and i wanted it to look better Maaco is a good choice for that, just dont buy the snake oil.

Let me tell you something about Maaco... My old man was an operations manager for Maaco from 78 til 82 at corporate headquarters in King Of Prussia Pa. And opened most of the Maaco shops in the NE USA. We owned shop in Philly for years after that and one thing he always taught franchise owners and even our own crew is that no matter how much a customer spends on the paint service (Ambassador, Congressional, Presidential, and Supreme), ALWAYS GIVE THE CAR A SUPREME. Because, we were painting 30-35 cars a week and standardizing the paint line process saved time, even though we were doing more to the car, we could do it much faster... Plus no matter what, customers liked to tell others about where they got it done... No one ever knew we did that and every customer went away with the best we could do... #OldYorkRdAndTiogaMaaco

I took my car to maaco like 10 years ago,paid $1000 to paint the whole car and it came out great,I think it all depends on the shop you go to

I have used Econo for years now.. I prep my own cars, and remove as much trim as possible. I have always been happy with the results, and have never had a car that looked like it was cheaply painted. The few times I have had flaws in the paint work, they have always fixed the issues.

Great video, I used to work at Maaco, I was the tape guy taping 8 cars a day, if I would see a bad sand job I would send it back, it’s a good thing you sanded yours down, on cheep Jobs they barely sand and don’t get the clear coat off, it will start pealing in one year

Thank you for the recommendation. I have a 1966 Ford F 100 that I am considering painting. Nice sets of options & recommendations.

I've had really good paint jobs from Maaco. The cheap single stage paint (no clearcoat) is pretty good and can even be buffed out pretty nice. Of course the $1500 base/clear is much nicer if you can afford that. The equivalent base/clear at a private body shop would be maybe $3000. Body work is always extra as it should be.

LMAO! I like how you called Rob out at the end. I'm subscribed to both of you guys so its fun when you are poking a little fun at each other.

Should keep the color close to the original (as much as possible given the budget). I think that adds to the sleeper-ness of the car....

i had a maaco done years ago and they did good. was very happy

I highly suggest using a white paint. Not only does it help with keeping a vehicle cool in the hot summer months but it also does a very good job of hiding any imperfections you might have missed as well as the everyday dirt and dust you would get with a family drive vehicle. If you would like proof of this fact try going up to your local FedEx delivery truck next time and take a closer look at his truck and you will find more dust dirt and debris than you could imagine... and yes I'm speaking from experience.

Go with the same color. Color changes on the cheap don't work out well. Nobody wants to see different colored door jambs or under hood/trunk color differences. My local Maaco is awesome. Their spot painting service using base/clear usually matches very well. Even without a cut/buff many people would not realize the parts were repainted on the cheap. Full paint service, they do a decent job for what you pay. Had a Chevy Tahoe done 6 months ago. It was a Nasty old City of Chicago police car, had uneven edges on the paint. Dents, dings. and one of the rockers was quite rusty. For $900 they prepped it, filled all the dings, did some body work, sealed, and painted it using Urathane paint and "integrated" clearcoat. I got compliments consistently on how good it looked. The guy I sold it to didn't even know it had a respray. Any other shop would have been $5000+

It's amazing how many people have become professional bodyman and painters by just watching videos here lol!!

My dad always took each panel off for full body resprays. Doors. Fenders. Bumper covers but back then they didn't really have them. Trunk. Hood. Lights too. Those panels were painted separately off body.

Sam your content has been skyrocketing. It consistently gets better with each video and you have become one of my favorite KZreadrs. Keep up the great work 🤘🏼

Just try to do it yourself!!! Just need to have a nice compressor to handle the continuous flow. You evenly spray without back & forth actions, but uniform movements all the way across. You're a very good dyi'er if you ask me. You have the room, and even the shade to do it too. Keep it in the shade for at least a week after you do it for better results. You can give it maybe 3 passes/same with the clear. With intervals of up to 30 mins in between. This works best for me. The paint supplies would be around 100 bucks for the good paint/clear coat. You should experiment on smaller panels or even wood panels as practice. I usually primer the hood a bit more(there's primers for that too) to have heat resistance on the paint ;) I think you can do well Sam. Even remove the trim before paint for a much better inside out look. I've seen what you can do, and do believe you have it in you to tackle this! Cheers

I'd really like to know where to buy paint for $100. Here in Ohio, prices are over $300/gallon and that' not including hardener and reducer.

A co worker has had three vehicles painted at our local Maaco and paid around $1,500 each ( two trucks and a suv) and they sanded it down to the metal and resprayed the entire vehicle along with a 4 year warranty.

Hey Sam, back about two years ago, Ford came out with the most beautiful blue you'd ever want to see, they used it on the Taurus and the 500, it was deep midnight blue but metallic, when it hit the sunlight, it was the bomb. I think it would look great on your Jag, check it out and if you're ever on the space coast, come check us out in Titusville.

Still needs a good cut and buff to get rid of the orange peel and you need to do good prep work for dark colors. Also taping off everything yourself is needed, but remember you get what you pay for. Also some Maaco’s have better workers than other franchises.

If you're gunna do a bright blue that's an official make's color at least stick with a British make for a British car. Lotus's A52 "Mediterranean Blue" is one that I can think of off the top of my head.

Considering how much space you have there, and how cheap it is to set up the initial paint needs for a cheap paint booth, i would probably throw caution in to the wind and paint the car myself.

SalvageMasterV orange peel seems to also be a theme at Maaco. I have seen a lot of Maaco paint jobs with what I consider too much orange peel.

Macos not the only one, a local auto body guy who has been around for ever painted my friends Toyota pick up white for a cable tv job. Truck had been red before. Paint job lasted less than 2 years with white comming off in sheets. Truck eventually returned to red which coencided with his departure from CTV sub contracting Lol! Perfect!

If I want anything done right , I do it myself , if I don’t know how to do it , there is always you tube . I prepped, painted my son’s Honda Civic came out really good .

man, the amount of buffer trails/holograms in that fiesta paint though...

The paint Maaco uses on the cheap paint jobs chaulks out after about a year in the sun.

summer time yellow..very pleazing to look at...and it make you feel good inside...

I got my 1994 suburban repainted august 2021 at maaco St. Louis area. They did a GREAT job.

Got my car done for $500 about 10 yrs ago from an alley way paint shop. My hood started fading within a month. Took it back,and they redid the whole car. Thank GOD I keep all my receipts! I'm in AZ and the sun just destroys paint. But they must've put extra clear coat because it still looks new.

Thank you for this video. Now I know not to go straight to Maaco for the paint job. Time to shop around and see who will understand my cheap car situation. And I can do the prep.

The jag might look good with a metallic turquoise.. it’s kinda similar to the color the 50’s Chevys came in and even some early 80’s Ford/Lincoln’s.. Overall that classic Bluish-Green.

I had 3 cars painted at Maaco over 25 years at 2 different locations, they ALL started peeling after 2 years when I sold them. On the last one they actually painted over my pinstriping..

I work as an auto detailer and over the last year or so I have seen Econo explode in popularity. The sweet spot most of our customers go for is about 500 bucks and that gets them quite a bit. They do proper prepwork and minor fillings and they use good quality paint and a coat of clear. Its not a showroom finish by any means but after you get the the bits of orange peel off and give it a good polishing they really come up great for the price. I'm so familiar with their work at this point I can immediately spot their cars. I recommend them. Only fault I can give them is the orange peel can be an issue depending on your local one. You generally will have to compound and polish your vehicle afterwards but the amount depends on the skills of your local guys. Ours don't need much, Just a few small spots. You can do it yourself or just find a local detailer to do the touch ups. Irregardless you can't really argue the quality for the price. As for possible colors, I'd try a nice Aqua or Royal Blue. Its interesting enough to look at but it won't immediately give it away that you supped up the engine.

You can paint half a bumper. It's called "burning." It's difficult to learn, but takes practice. When I painted, I got really good at it. You couldn't even tell it had been done. It only lasted about 2 years though. Only draw back. It would fade and you could see where it was "burned in"

I do mobile bumper repairs on high end cars in San Diego all the time. I do blends that are long lasting and undetectable. 20 years in business with not one customer complaining of premature paint failure. All 5 star reviews (with no suggestion to review l, ever) on Yelp for the many years I have been with them. Never spent a dime with Yelp, BTW

I worked at a maaco for 1 week. Thats all i could take. They painted on average 20 cars a day at this franchise. I was almost comatose by the end of the week. The majority of the cars coming thru had really bad paint jobs and body work on them already. I suspect its these owners that badmouth maaco. They bring in a terd and maaco just polishes the turd. This is a nasty dirty work with low pay so don't expect top quality. I've had 2 of my own cars painted at 2 different maaco's and the paint held up really well. I chose catalyzed acrylic enamel which was 1 step up from their lowest quality they had at the time.

First job out of high school was a maaco paint prepper. We would remove any badges or easy removable parts. Then scuff entire car with 3m green pads! .thats it. But they baked paint. Was a production line of prep work same time to prep a vw as a van!

I did the prep work on a Saturn for my daughter and then took it to Maaco came out excellent

Paint the jaaaaaag white with a red and blue rectangle consisting 3 dots

Got my e36 m3 painted at Maaco. Did the same package as this guy and looked great for a month or two. Started peeling real bad. Also they screwed doors up and they never opened right again.

I don't know if it's still available, but Chrysler used to have a color called Formal Black. I had the tank and side covers of my bike done with it and it is gorgeous. It's a deep black with kind of bronze and silver metal flake. I would have body shop guys come out and admire it when I parked. It's probably too late for this car, but keep it in mind for next time.

Imagine going to your favorite pizza restaurant. Ha. Zing!

lol...ok 1 wait a couple years after the sun bakes the clear right off.2 rubber parts need to have a flex agent added to the paint or it will start cracking all over..maaco dont do flex on the rubber parts.. the base is always enamel at maaco. the clear coat if you pay the extra for the clear is the only urethane part .....we are a 4 generation auto body family.. if you want to clean up a junk car to sell it to an easy mark(not nice but ok) maaco is a way to go quick cheap easy....in even a few months you will start to see what is called pull back or shrinking and every sanding scratch will start to show the paint will not hold up to the sun so in a year or 2 you will start to see what is called checking and blistering in 3 or 4 years the clear if you got it will be peeling back off...if you do not get the clear the sun will kill that paint dull as heck in 2 years this will not really buff or rub back off when you do buff it the paint will soak up the rubbing compound and turn milky white a few weeks later and it just gets worse and worse as time passes on....sorry but that is the truth... god help you if you let them do any body work at all... good prep work will help a bit but only so much.

I got a Macco for my old truck. With occasional maintenance my paint never had the clear bake off. Might be because I dont live in a sunny area but it was a great deal.

I just had my 05 300C sprayed by Maaco and they did a wonderful job on it. Of course I spent close to 4k, but it doesn't look like the paint job on the BMW

I had a car painted by Maaco. It cost me about a thousand bucks for the entire vehicle. I was not expecting great results, but I was pleasantly surprised. While it wasn't perfect by any means, it was pretty good. A little bit of orange peel (that was easily polished out) and one small run, but they matched the factory color perfectly and the car looked brand new when they were done. No overspray in unwanted areas either. Overall I was really happy with the end result and I didn't have any defects 2 years later (when I sold the car).

Nikolaben2 same shit

My friend crashed into my Civic hatch with his mustang a few years ago, didn’t go thru insurance or anything so replaced some panels and took it to Maaco. $400 cash out the door for me a full respray of the same color white. And I was very happy with it for the first few days...until I popped my hood, and noticed the entire engine bay/engine/turbo kit/ everything under the hood was painted white. My entire custom turbo kit was now even more custom becuase the turbo/bov,piping,valve cover, everything was custom white.

I've had Maaco do single stage paint and base/clear. Both are well worth the money, but obviously the base/clear is way nicer.

It's a nice car and can repaint it the same color. It don't outdate it.

Anyone know of a similar priced paintjob company in the UK? $400 for anything more than a bumper repaint seems crazy cheap no matter how low quality

Blended does not mean it was just cleared! Blending means that you add paint further every time you put on a coat then you clear the panel.

Hello Sam, liking these videos... I've an STR myself that will be going in for paint this week. In talking with the company doing the paint/body work they had some concern about the removal of rear spoiler. As I saw you take yours off (in fast forward) made me want to ask you the process you went through to do so and any tips/suggestions you may have for me before I attempt to remove it myself? PS the blue looks pipe
