No worries, they didn't completely miss the tail lights, got the reverse lights and the edges of the tails.

MAACO does quality work man. I had them paint my 300zx TT and they even sprayed the entire underside of my car and exhaust for free for no additional charge.

They did a great job of colour matching my rims and tires once many decades ago. When I complained they cleaned up the rims and had the tires turned around. Not balanced or anything just turned around.

Ha ha success! well you do get what you pay for. Can't say I was expecting a spectacular job, and honestly it looked pretty amazing right after it was done, other than the overspray, 6 months later though the paint looked like absolute dog shit however lol.

It was my 58 Chevy wagon I had done and the only reason I had it painted was to cover the horrid lime green that the previous owner had painted it so I could sell it for more. Saw it about 12 years later and it still looked really good. The guy only drove it to car shows mind you so it wasn't exactly hard time.

Same reason I painted mine too, but I decided to keep it longer then expected. Unfortunately the buyer didn't care for the overspray too much.

Might be different across the pond but in the UK you're looking at about £200 max to redo a bumper, which is about $350 with the current exchange rate

Just for a respray of the bumper?? I got mine resprayed for a little under 500 anymore than 600 sounds like way to much especially for the bumper.

there is a reason my company does the type of cars we do, is there shops out there that will do it for $600 yes but it will also look like that. and chances are they aren't doing full restorations on enzo's and having Ferrari recertify the car.

I'm waiting for something like this to happen.

Anyone have experience with this product?

And if I were using someone else's insurance to pay for my paint job, I'd gladly take it there. :lol:
