Re: What's a fair price for a paint job?

Since you don't want to do any sanding but will take things apart you can save a little money and get a better paint job out of Maaco.

If you strip it down so there is next to nothing they have to mask off and you pay for the higher quality materials they have to offer then you can get a $1000 Maaco paint job to look pretty good and it won't fail too quickly.

The taped off things like the mirrors, emblems, marker lights, bumpers, grille, etc... are all points where the paint will peel so if you remove them then many of the failure points go away.
