I love the new red color😍
Thank you!
The way he talks about his car is wholesome 😂 glad you like it man. Debating on painting my 63 Mercury Comet.. so we’ll see.
Thank you. The car was my baby😊 Good luck with your car!
no
Every MAACO is different.2 close to me do really good work! 1 where I used to live in Va. would even do custom work if you were willing to pay for it. MAACO is a Franchise it's all on the local owner for what you get!!
This is 100% true!!
Sorry for the late question, Buh which one in Virginia do you recommend, cuz that’s where I’m at lol.
@@Saix1031 is the one in winchester va good
I want to say 2 things...... 1, You are an awesome person that appreciates what you have!..... 2, Thank you for being young, smart and honest about what you reviewed
Thinkin abt gettin a maaco paint job for my car for 1 to 1500. My car also had faded red paint w clearcoat peeling. Thx for sharing your experience w maaco
No problem! I would recommend checking the reviews of the shop before dropping your car off. This maaco I was good, but some are not the best. The mustang was the same, faded red paint with clearcoat peeling everywhere!
Car looks good...thanks for video.
Thanks for watching! No problem.
Looks great .
Thank you!!
Great video!
Thank you very much!
Very nice quality for the price, what color is that? I have an 03 GT i’m thinking of repainting, it’s an original redfire color, but the clear is destroyed. This shade looks very nice!
Thank you! I thought the paint job came out great for the price and quality! I’ll try to do more research to find the paint code. I had another comment about this previous.
Bro your painters tape bra had me dying 😂 I like how you put character in your video, that's awesome 🙂👍,I want to paint my 2001 Tacoma but just like you I didn't want to pay $5,000-$6000 for a vehicle that's not going to be show room but enough to show some life into it.
I had to try something to protect the paint! Thank you very much! I felt the same way, this car was a daily driver and was never going to be a “show car” but it cleaned up nicely. Especially compared to the original paint.
Once the paint job is done. Ceramic coat it and wax/buff it.
Best thing ever! I have that done on my Audi and I’m redoing the ceramic coating this summer.
Great paint!
Thank you!
It seems lack of preparation , Maaco is well known to hire cheap pot head labor , who don’t care about quality work , as long as they get paid . Late nineties took a Cherokee jeep to be painted , my jeep ended up with overspray , heavy orange peel , most of my badges were crazy glued on the wrong areas a totally disaster . 3 months later paint started flaking off on front bumper , door handles ect . The best paint job is the one you do yourself .
Hey girl!!!!
This red is awesome! What color code was this ?
Let me check! I will comment you back soon with the paint code.
@@darrinsiberia My bad, life has been a little crazy!
Maaco did a terrible job on my paint job. I’m pissed is there anything I can do about it or just pay them and never come back they don’t even inspect the paint job before you come to pick up the car they lied and lied and lied each time I spoke to them
I would definitely talk to the owner of the Maaco, as they are privately owned. If that doesn't come to a positive conclusion, reach out to Maaco corporate office. I'm sorry about your bad experience, the shops are hit and miss.
small claims court is your friend. Pain in the ass but if your problem is legit and they did not fulfill their part of the written agreement/contract you will win. So stay cool, bring it back, and see if they will fix it. If not then go to the courthouse and file your small claims suit.
How much did you pay for it? $300? If so, that's not how it works with Maaco. You have to spend more like he did for a great job.
@@jeremy072579 $2,600
@@richardboyd4477 typically maaco offers a pretty warranty when yoi go with the most expensive option like you did. I noticed your comment was almost a year ago though, how has it held up since then?
Not sure a leather bra would have been a good thing on a new paint job anyway - also, the major chips you have shown are on plastic surfaces - I think these are harder for paint to adhere too. And, what year is your Mustang, and what color is it? Mine is a 99, auto, six, coupe - and I think my color is considered laser red - a "darker" red
Hey! My mustang was a 1999, V8 (4.6) and an auto as well. I can't remember the specific color off hand, but it wasn't Laser Red. I would like to say, Performance Red, if I remember correctly!
@@jqonthego I was thinking performance red was the very bright red - which is what I really wanted at the time. Mine is the darker red -
@@appleimacdude It was pretty bright! It may not seem that way on camera
Is this a base coat/clear coat or is it a Urethane +IC, please let me know cuz I’m debating which paint job I should do for my 08 Bmw.
To my understanding, this was the base coat and clear coat together. Sadly, I do not have the specific work order in front of me anymore. At the time, this was the highest price range and options for the paint job.
I’m scared cause ima do the enamel paint with UV coating
Good luck! I hope this video gave you some tips on what to look out for and cover up before painting.
Don't take ur car to maaco for a paint job unless ur gonna sell the car and u need to make it look decent. They use cheap paint and most of the workers are beginers and don't prep the car properly. Believe me, i used to work there.
Even premium package ?
Some maacos are bad some are excellent
Was this your first car? You mentioned that you had it in HS. To me, it’s a pretty cool first car!
No, I wish this was my first car! This Mustang was my 4th car I owned. My first car was a 2003 Audi Allroad 2.7T, which I have some videos about on my channel! I worked hard and sold my previous cars to buy the Mustang! Thank you!
Paint works quality really depends on the painter.
This is definitely true! Each shop is different!
Why don't you clean off the overspray....
I could have! I was showing how I got the car back from Maaco.
You’re going to rip that spoiler off doing that.
I could have! I wasn't going that crazy.
Did the door jams get painted to?
Yes, but very lightly. The shop set up a tape line and did the door jams that way. They blended the new paint with the old paint. 👍
If you put a clear 3m bra it probably would of never got stone chips on the front
That definitely could have helped! At the time, I didn't have the opportunity to do a 3m clear bra over the front.
MAACO is the worst shop ever, at least the one in Temecula. I got a bumper painted there about 3 years ago for my 430i and they did an absolutelly horrible job. The paint was not matching and they literaly carved out the holes for the sensors with a pocket knife, I am not joking. Took the bumper back and they refused any refund or even doing it again, they kept saying no job they offered was promised to be free of flaws, I wish you guys could see how those holes looked.
Maaco is definitely not perfect! That is why I showed the good and bad...but for the price 🤷♂️ I had "real body shops" give me quoted of $5,500 and up to repaint the car red... I'm sorry to hear about the bumper on your car!
JQ On the Go ohh trust me, I would have been ok with “not perfect” but if you could only see those holes carved out with a knife, I bet you would have a very hard time believing someone had the audacity to charge even a cent for that.
@@ocatvio1594 report that chit to the corporate 1-800-523-1180
Don’t trust Maaco they do not care about their customers. If the shop sucks you are screwed because customer service will be on there side. They will not support you in anyway.
This is definitely true! Make sure to do research on the shop before bringing your car there. Maaco can be good for the price, like in my case.
For $2000. Get it wrapped
I looked into wraps! At the time, my local shops were charging $2500 to $4500 to wrap the car. This was the best option for me. In future, I plan on wrapping one of my cars!
Where do you live, you could wrap mine. 2010 honda civic hybrid. I'm in Flushing Queens
You put tape on the car not maaco.
Can you elaborate on this comment?
@@jqonthego at 5:52 of the video you say may or may not had been my fault. About the paint you were describing on the bumper.
Peeling after you put blue painters tape on your car. The paint didn't have enough time to cure. So the blue painter's tape peeled your paint up. And you asked who's fault it was. So when you get something done buy the extended warranty that covers anything even if it's your fault.
I hope you'll take this comment in the way it is meant. Not a hater, but you need to change the way you trim your mustache. It looks like your nose hair is over grown. Not a good look. Maybe thin the hair right under your nose and make a thin line separating your mustache from your nose. I'd be surprised if none of your friends or family told you something like this. Nevertheless, you do you.
I appreciate the video. I'm looking at having my car painted so this was helpful.
Thank you for the input!
MAACO is a thief..
Rustoleum paint job is better than maaco
Everyone has there opinions! I think for the price, the car came out great.
It's a pukestang, why spend $$ on that.. buy a real car, btw the GT is a slow dog, not even worth 2k
Thank you for the input! The 2v GT wasn't the fastest back in the day or now😂 Overall, the car needed a new paint job and I didn't want to wrap the car. I definitely put lots of money into this car...more than I should have. I actually sold the Mustang back in May, 2020.
Brz driver spotted
The new edge is an awesome car. Not fast to today's standards but enough to get you into trouble. I had a 2000 GT and loved it. I'll buy another one some day.
Who cares who likes it. If its yours and its what you want then its all good. I have an 04 mach 1,bought in 07. In the last year and half I did a full paint strip,body work and paint by myself,1st time also. I get compliments everywhere I go,everyone doesn't believe I did the work until I show proof.
Since then I replaced all interior with new leather. Entire complete suspension,all bushings. If there is rubber under the car,replaced. Rearend rebuilt,all steering components replaced,tubular control arms,rebuilt and powder coated all calipers,slotted/coated rotors,new wheels and tires,custom built retrofit headlights,all new weatherstripping,complete new stereo system,all new bearings,new trim pieces,full led lighting inside and out, and new window tint. I did everything on my own.....no shops have touched it except front end alignment.
Next week car gets professional grade ceramic coated on everything you can.
Safe to say I like and enjoy my "pukestang" as they were referred.
Now next up is either a termi motor and bigger supercharger (which will be fast or faster by today's standards) or just a gen 3 coyote motor. So in the end I'll end up spending at least another 6-8 grand before I'm done. Termi motors are no slouch by today's standards. Either way it will gap most newer cars and look good and have style while doing. Don't like stangs after the new edge myself.
Its peoples own cash,they'll spend it were they like, least they aren't shooting it up the arm...lol.
