I've had people ask me to fix there cars after they got them painted at these chop shops,one guy actually brought his car up to my work for me to look at it,it was a black Honda Delsol,there was so much dirt and trash under the paint it had actually started to flake off 4 months after it was painted.You get what you pay for.

I think you should go to the one on FLORIDA AVE just north of Fowler, it burned down, and was rebuilt you will have your best luck there! The paint job will be smoking!

I went to maaco on palm river in 06 to get my rusted honda painted. I did all the body work necessary myself and paid the extra for machine sanding. for 5 hundo, it was totally worth it imo the paint shined like it did the day I got it back after 3 years un-garaged (and washed maybe once every 2 months)

I was the painter @ Maaco in Ocala and I was VERY impressed on the way they prepped the cars. They DA the entire car, once I got it, I would wipe it down with wax&grease remover, hit it with a tack cloth and then actually use sealer before any color went on. If I were to goto any Maaco, I would goto the one in Ocala. I actually painted my hatch there but used my own materials as I only shoot PPG on my own projects. BTW they used Nason and DuPont.

econo on fowler and florida did a decent job on my friends coupe. all it had was some orange peel and a little run in the paint on the front bumper. easily fixed w/ wet sanding.
