Don't be ashamed of a Maaco paint job!

car came back from paint. it is a daily driver, and i dont a show car right now so i took it to maaco. looks ok. a lot better than it did, but i wish i had some body work done....a lot of little flaws i didnt even realize were there. BUT, i cant wait to be back on the road and drive it again. I'm sure I'll get some decent bodywork done in the future, but I cant stand seeing all these cars on the road and not having one, plus college tuition comes first. Ill post some more pictures later, but heres one from the paint shop...

Maaco uses quality paint products and most of the time, they shoot a very good to excellent coat of paint. Unfortunately, they do not do a great prep job before painting. You do get what you pay for. IMO black is the absolute worst color to paint a car that isn't laser straight because it shows even minor flaws. I have had a couple great experiences with Maaco painted cars, but the cars were prepped and ready for paint before they left for the Maaco shop. I currently have a 72 Sat getting prepped for paint, and Maaco is high on my list of possible painters for this car. I think a great looking paint job is 90% or more due to meticulous body preparation before the paint. Enjoy what you've got, knowing it looks better than it did, and better than a lot of whatever else is out there.

Those are Mirada wheels and yes they look great on 71/2 RR.
My brother has them on his 70 440+6 RR but look better on the 71 IMO.
