thanx… now i just have to find a new bumper before i can put a lip on… i didnt even have the factory lip when i got the car… nothing at all… >.<
yea, mine was like that too, it looks too bare without anything there.
Sooo what if i wanna just keep my car the same color and just get it re sprayed and clear coated… should i go 2 Maaco?
why not?
well after all the stuff about the clear coat not lastin that long im kinda torn between both sides… im not makin a show car but i do want something that isnt just cheap but has some quality as well…wait nvr mind i jus answered my own question
my beater also a maaco job
how much did that cost you? and did u do the prepwork urself?
Heres my Presidential Maaco work…they had a half off special when I had mine painted March of 07… prepped and shaved the emblems myself…
well my bimmer was fucked up badly prior to me bringing it in, so yes, i did do alot of prepwork, such as replace all the dented parts- tucked the bumpers (those who dont know 84-87 e30s had chrome bumpers refered to as diving boards, which i didnt like so i drilled the shocks ect.)
i also chose to have maaco paint the metal DB’s and ruber surrounds, which i feel make it look much better. but they did a god awful job prepping the metal (MAKE NOTE TO PREP ALL METAL, MOLDINGS, ECT. cause as you can see the paints flaking off the bumper)
maacco did had to sand 60% of the car due to orange peel. so in total it cost me about 1100. as for the paint quality, i dont know if the prep work was done diferently or what, but the job on my integra came out much better. I dont know if this is because of there half assed prep work or not. As you can see from the photos its not bad- but for somereason i got the same package on my acura as the bimmer and its different.
original condition-
after i banged it up being a jerk-
tucked bumpers-
after
dont you get some kind of warrenty with spending that much for a paint job?? i mean thats $300 more than i paid for my car!!
You’re an idiot and I shouldn’t even respond to your dumbass post but yes for the cheapest paint job you get a 1 year warranty at Maaco.
what the fuck did i do to make you be such a dick??
yea, i didnt get the cheapest either, im not sure off hand but i think i have like a 2yr warrenty or someshit, but it doesnt cover shti like painting the plastic moldings and and rubber ect.
ive brought back my integra because the front got chipped up from rocks hitting it. although they didnt respray my front for free i got a nice discount.
for 150, they resprayed the front bumper/lip, mirror, jdm moldings, rear spoiler
nice!!
crazy seamn, your white integ looks awesome… its like a frost white twin of my own
befor:
600$ at macco later and me putting on new bumper:
thanks viprtwo
Just finished. Not a crazy good picture, but you get the idea.
snap. Looks good Ivan. Didn’t it start out white?
Mick Garvey, looks really good. I am kinda surprised you did not paint the mirrors too lol, everyone does.
