It took them several times to get my wing front bumper and grill frame right, and its still not right, I'm not looking for a perfect job but Damn near, and then ruined a brand new wiper cowl, and had overspray all over my truck, still have it on my wheels, which that will come off here soon as I got me some polish that will remove it....

Just remember that you will have to step it up to the Maaco Signature job to get a base coat/clear coat...all the others are single stage paint jobs.
That is correct....now I am not 100% happy with the job (I'd say 95%), but you have to realize the only way to get something 100% factory new is to get it 100% brand new from the factory.

I know Jay had some trouble with his wing/grill/bumper cover, and trust me, I STILL feel bad about all the hassle...I wouldnt have ever recommended them If i wasnt satifified with the work done....


For how big the truck is, and it being almost 10 years old, Maaco did a helluva job on RamIt and it has won 6 trophies this year....You can go to the best place on the earth, if they have a crappy painter, the job is going to suck. I happened to have a good painter @ Maaco paint my truck, but still realize its not a 5000 dollar paint job. If I had the money, I would have taken it to Embrey & Sons in Hudson, because I have seen a lot of the work they do, and its is TOP NOTCH....but this paint job I had Maaco do, would have cost me almost triple what E&S would have charged...

I am not going to recommend Maaco but I am not going to trash them....
