Maaco

[Bustos32]

I just wanted some opinions...
I just bought my 99 cavalier about 6 or 7 months ago and I want to get it painted black. It's red now I I want to paint it black. Does anyone have any pictures of a 1999 black 2 door cavalier? And does anyone know if MAACO does good paintjobs or if I should go factory?

So is white lol. I don't bother washing mine much anymore...i can't keep the damn thing clean. Hell someone spilled coke on the side of my car one day at work and walked of and let it dry on there. But when i do wash it, it looks good for about a day.

Coke will eat your paint.

yea black is a hard color to keep clean, but its the best looking color when its all clean and shinning.

Im thinking about getting my car re-painted and its going to cost me 500 bucks, and its done professionally.

So just keep looking around and see what their jobs look like.

If I get any car painted, it will be in that new orange copper metallic.

Looks absolutely amazing on any car.

Do you mean the orange that the new 04/05 models have? If so that is called sunburst orange metallic. I have an 04 that color and you would not believe the compliments I get on that car dailey.

I agree but when we wash 2-3 times a week it will look good all the time and then wax every so often and use a quick detailer the car stays looking very nice.

Looked really good when clean though.

2-3 times a week? Damn man maybe if I didn't go to school and work I'd have time to wash mine like that. Little much though don't you think? Most people like to spend more time driving their car instead of washing it. But agreed white does look good when clean!
