IF you can bear to let go of your car for 2 months... Take it to Vo-tech body school. Pay for great paint ($800), and they will do about the BEST blinking job you'll ever see, custom detailing as well! The instructors certify all of their work, and it all looks PERFECT... They just go REAL slow. I know many people who work at the local one, and everyting is certified by professionals, and they have great equipment. Just real slow...

It's way better than taking it to Maaco, and they'll do great body work as well, if you provide the replacement body parts. No charge on the labor, just a small one for the final certification, and the parts/paint.

A really good deal!

 

Sounds great, can we get some contact data for this place and an address.

Thanks

 

Check your local public school district main office, they'll have the location and contact information. Each state/city is different.

 

Awww.. you mean this school is NOT on the same street name and number in every city ?!? Something's wrong with that picture!! LOL j/k

 

2 months!!!! i'd have to set up visits with my car, just so i could rest at night. but if you say they do good work, i may just check them out as i need some good paint done to my car, and macco is all i can afford right now.

 

I know, I know... But the work is worth it... really. I mean, a 3k paint job for what, 700-800? I'm doing it this winter, when the car really wouldn't be all that drivable.

 

another alternative to Maaco that's usually just as good:

 

That's funny as hell. lol

 

That's not fair.. that house paint will hold up a lot better

 

At first I was like "Two months!?" but that winter idea is a good one. If we get a rough winter this year, I'll definitely check that out since it'd certainly be better than letting my car stay outside (I don't have a garage... yet). I'm not sure I can wait until winter, though... my paint is pretty trashed!

 

I'm getting my car painted this winter. I hope that place is somewhere near me. I can only afford Maaco, but I don't really want to go there.

 

I know that here in Colorado, we have many days where I could drive it... But, we also havve random storms that come chargin in (like the one in late May this year) and dump a bunch of snow on us (Snow, in MAY??). I'd rather not get stuck, unable to leave someplace, from the snow, so it would be garaged all winter anyway. Instead of my house, I'll garage it at Vo-Tech, and get a paint job too!

 

yeah here in maryland we have a place called that, my friend goes their through his high school, and they do good work like said, but it does take time.

 

IF you guys live in california there is a better solution that will only take one week and cost you $450 and it comes with a two year warranty. ITs called ONE DAY AUTO BODY it has many california locations i just got my car back and i am very happy with it. If you want the 450 deal go on there website and print the coupon. its good stuff.
