Won't last and will not be very good quality. There tapping job sucks too. Some Maccos do much better jobs than others.

I had my car painted at Miracle and it turned out pretty nice. You just can't expect it to come back perfect. If you understand that your not getting a 3-4 grand custom paint job, then you will most likely be happy with the results, I know I was. There is a pic somewhere around here of my car

I was pretty happy with them for a while after I had my bird done black, but then the paint recently has started bubbling and pealing off in swaths, like down to bare metal!! The job is only a little over 2 years old now. I think I'm gonna drop 4 digits next time I get it painted, hopefully this spring.

Hopefully mine doesn't start bubbling but I plan on going full custom paint after I chrome and paint mine engine next winter. just monitor them and know which one is a good shop. Check there work.

had my TA painted last december '99...i'm pretty happy with it...i got the $500 supreme package w/ one coat of clear. if you're not wanting to show your car, then it will do...
it's good to hear from former maaco employees to shed some light on how they do things...there are probably a few good maacos out there..it's a risk, but then i couldn't afford the 3-4 thousand dollar job.
