are you saying it would be about $250 for a complete paint job? thats pretty good. what does presidential mean? another thing, is it normal for someone to prep the car themselves, and then take it to maaco? you say they do crappy prep work, is that a personal experience or widely known?

im looking to get my car painted, and if its $250 thats not bad. but im not looking to sell my car, so would it look like a $250 paint job, or would it look good? i still want black, so it shouldnt be too bad
