Boy, not many people around here lately.
Anyway, I just dropped off my 911 at Maaco for a paint job. Yeah, I know, but it's not a show car and it was in desperate need of new paint. Also, I did not go for the cheapo job and I've heard that if you are willing to pay for it they can do a very good job on most primo cars. A friend used to take his Mercedes there and it looked pretty damn good except for the rust he had them paint over.
What I don't understand is why the better body shops in the area will not paint a car, and when you get a ding in a fender they will only work on that fender, make it nice and shiny, and absolutely refuse to paint the rest of the car to match -- "Just keep going around the car once you start painting."
Furthermore, I cannot get a decent explanation as to why they won't do it. What's the story?
