I remember a roadster at solvang that received a last minute Maaco job and it
looked good.
Can anybody recommend a Maaco shop in Southern California?
I'd like to do the brunt of the prepwork myself since I'm willing to spend
more time than the Maaco shop would. I have peeling clear coat which I will
have to scrape the loose flakes and sand the edges smooth to avoid ridges in
the paint.
I will sand the entire car, but should/can I use rattlecan primer to smooth
any imperfections first?
This prep wil be done inside my garage. I appreciate any suggestions.
TIA

I had an Opel GT that had a beautiful candy apple red paint job the drew
comments where ever I drove it. Even took 2nd in class at an all German
car
show. When folks asked who painted it, I always hesitated before saying
Maaco.
Before recommending or condemning Maaco, remember they are a franchise.
Any one with the bucks and a bit of talent can open up a Maaco shop. Find
one with a good painter and an owner willing to take the time to do nice
work, and you can get a good paint job from them.
Or go to just any old Earl Schib (SP?) $29.95, No ups, No extras, paint
shop and then watch as the paint peels off your car a week later at 50 mph!
