The Price Was Really Good, But That Should've Been The First Red Flag.
They did a decent job but prep work was lacking. I think the paint job cost me less than $500, and the results were amazing. Car paint jobs are not mainly about paint cost, they are about labor and the inconvenience of doing it “right”.
Having Worked At A Maaco For 7 Years While Going To College ,I Can Say That If You Expect A Paint Job To Last 10 Years While Spending $250, You're Crazy.
Look into the ceramic finish instead of wax. Got the paint job about 3 weeks ago. Im sure it would be closer to $1000 today.

I got a maaco paint job 6 or so years ago on another car of mine. I have an old car that i get cheap paint on from time to time. Hi, i've had my ridgeline 12 years now, and it's still as reliable as the day i bought it.
And Remember, This Price Will Fluctuate Depending On The Size Of Your Car And The Actual Price That Maaco Bids.
I have spent $1200 and it came out nice. This evidently means they are better trained. Better paint and separate clear and bas.

Been doing that for the past few years. You can do the same paint job your self and take all the dents out and even look better and last longer for the same price there asking for. And went back with as close to original color as possible so they seemed to use that fact as a reason to not try as hard.
