Who knows of a good place to get paint done? I'm not looking for super fancy, just a basic body on paint job (and don't say Maaco).

Macco.....
Oh, wait....
Seriously though, for a basic shoot why not? They did a really good job on the wife's a few years ago. Just don't plan on getting a good paint job for $179 though. I think I was into that one around $1300.

I don't want to do Maaco for two reasons. One, I would prefer to pay a little more and support a local company. Two, I have seen one too many absolutely terrible Macco paint jobs, even the pricey ones. I'm not looking for anything spectacular (this is a Samurai after all) but I would prefer that it not begin to chip and peel in the first three months.

I'm chuckling to myself right now... I send people away because were too expensive I tell them to go get a bid at Macco and then come back and see me. When you actually get there the price somehow increases exponentially and is almost as much as me anyway for half the job. You get an actual paint job at my shop not a disposable coating .
Just go buy the stuff and do it yourself.

PM X1994J,
He prepped and shot my mini truck, great guy and excellent work. It was a far nicer end result than I had asked for. His mame is Cory.

Wait, it's a Samurai?? In that case, don't go to Macco.
Two quarts of latex and a 2" brush will git er done!

Do they even make rollers that small???
Rattle can would work well but seriously, is a Samurai really worth that kind of investment?

Hot Rod magazine did an article on how to paint a car with a roller. It actuall turned out really nice looking. The big thing was to just take your time on the prep, then just put on coat after coat until you get it fairly thick. Then they wet sanded and buffed it all out like you would on most hot rods any way and it turned out pretty damn slick.

I vote rattlecan or roll-on.
I've also heard that if you do the prep work yourself (and do a good job of it), and take some good paint to Maaco, then it's fine to have them shoot it. I don't think you're going to find many places in Maaco's price range, so you're either going to have to do it yourself or pay a lot more.

I say just pop the lid off of a gallon of your preferred color, and give it a dip.
