they painted a bumper for me off the car and it came out great, even matched my non factory color perfectly.... im sure others will chime in with there suggestions.....btw...im speaking of the maaco in portland off forest ave.
got my whole car painted by them (maaco portland) , it came out great. Heres some pics of my car on facebook, hopefully you can see them. I suggest you do as much work as possible YOURSELF. That will give you the best results for prep. Like matt said, you get what you pay for. If you buy $100 of prep, that's what your going to get.
although you cant see anything in the pics really. the whole car was very well done. of course there was a couple of bubbles and rough spots. but im happy with it
$617. I think it was the middle selection. I had them fix a little bit of rust and a little bondo that I sucked with. I did most of the primer if you looked at all of the pictures. I'd say they did a good job though!
