Just had it done at Maaco. The local one here was doing urethane plus integrated clear for 300. Charged for the sealer/primer, but talked them into doing sanding and chip repair for free. Saw a small amount of orange peel under the louvers, but obviously I don't care about that. Was a little more towards the front of the hood and a drip on the rear bumper that's pretty ridiculous, but it will come out. All together it was certainly worth the money. Some paint sealer/wax in a few months once its all cured and I'll be satisfied.

They also took the time to vacuum the carpet and clean up the front wheels. Maybe its because they got the wheels dirty, but they took a lot of dirt and corrosion off from the car sitting many years.

 

Another shiny black gem.

 

wow,...not bad for 3 bills. looks good.

 

Got some new wheels too, but they started off pink.

 

Looks great for $300!!! Hell I just spent $600 on a gallon of orange.

 

I can't believe only $300...great price for a great paint job!

(you may consider yourself quite the plenipotentiary for Maaco now... )

I'd be interested to see a BEFORE pic if you have one, just to see how much of an upgrade the new paint job was.

Congrats! looks real good.

 

Not bad looking at all for $300.00

 

Thanks guys. Here's a few before pictures.

 

man, what an improvement. 100 percent new car look. im thinking about shooting my car black. theyre must be some good people working at your local shop. your rims look good. ive been working on a set now and then when i get time. im just slow,...lol. ill have to get some new pics, this one sux. you really got a deal from what i can see, especially if the paint holds up. did they get inside all the jams good? etc?

 

you guys still race down there on sundays? i used to live down in cape coral/n. ft. meyers, a few moons ago.

 

I did the jams myself a long time ago when I went black with the interior so I didn't pay Maaco to do them again. From what I understand there is an additional charge to do them.

 

$300 isn't bad, even if you will have to have it redone once a year! LOL!

 

Pretty.

 

New wheels on, its all come together.

 

She is ready to cruise.

 

Nothing like what you remember probably, gator circle right? Can you imagine the vids one could make if we had cameras back then !!

Theres still action but its in the middle of the night way out in the middle of nowhere.

Car looks great now OP

 

Wow thats the best I have seen 300 bucks look in a loooong time

 

the paint job looks great! The black lining on the outer rims make the rims look like tiny 14 inchers from a distance tho.

 

yea, that sux. we used to have alot of fun. we did lehigh acres and port charlotte too. some great memories. i like the wheels on your car OP.
