Before going on a little vacation to Chicago to visit friends and fam, I dropped off the Eclipse at Maaco to get painted. I know Maaco doesn't have the BEST reputation, but I wanted to see how good/bad it really was. 

This cost only $1600 and took only 4 business days from dropping the car off to picking it up. In pictures it looks nearly perfect, but there are definitely some issues. Video coming SOON!

Wow! That looks great at a really good price. Who ended up painting it and what color is that

Keith Dosik

Looks pretty good to me! I’m excited for the video! Can we expect it tomorrow?

Brian Rice

It looks great! I would love to see some period correct 3 spoke wheels on it!

Can’t wait to see the video man. Maaco isn’t the best, but they’re all ran independently so it really depends on the specific one you take it to. Prep work is key on paint. Beyond that all the issues can be corrected.

It can't be that bad, maaco just sucks with overspray and overall paint quality but you are more then smart enough to fix that if there is a problem.

Yep ^ Its the factory color!

Hopefully! Video has to be approved by a sponsor.

I already got some wheels for it, and they aint that. BUT, they're gonna look good :)

Gingium

Yeah, it has its fair share of issues but I think most of them could be wet sanded/buffed out.

Gingium

Yes! And this paint job came with a 5 year warranty!

Wait till ya see the video! I did some cool before/after shots.

Base/clear or single stage? If it’s base/clear you can definitely make it look good with some wet sanding and buffing. Just be careful to not burn through the clear, I’m sure they don’t use many coats.
