You realize that the painters your insulting forgot more than most of the painters at Maaco know, right? The paintjob looks decent from the pictures. Congratulations. But don't go insulting the masters of the trade by insinuating that the bargain job you got compares to a good paintjob.
I'm not insulting anyone. I just don't understand how anyone can say, "ALL Maacos suck and do poor work." It just isn't so.
The quality of the job received depends on which Maaco you go to, how talented (or untalented) the people who work on the car are and how much money you are willing to spend.
Sounds like you went to a Maaco that employed either untalented or uncaring people or both. And I'm sorry you're experience was a bad one.
I did my homework, talked to everyone who was involved in the job before it began and I watched the work being done.
It was a pain in the ass but it was worth it.
