A quick vid of a $2k paint job by Maaco on my ‘95 Dodge Ram 1500. Urethane with I/C (integrated clear) and extensive sanding. This is Maaco’s second tier paint job.
I used to be the office manager of a very high quality local body shop. I can tell you that a complete paint job runs upwards of 8-10k. The entire vehicle would be disassembled. All trim removed. Glass removed. Moldings removed, lights, bumpers etc. For 2k I’d say Maaco did a fantastic job given the overall condition of the truck when you dropped it off.

You are exactly right sir every single part he was pointing out i was thinking if the owner of the white truck had taken those parts off he would have had really very nice paint job it seems to me that all those areas he pointed out that he didnt like are his fault he should have taken those trim parts off and then put them all back on himself then it would be nice.

I worked at a maaco twenty years ago, that’s the quality you can expect at that price point. A “real” body shop would remove all the trim lights mirror’s etc. before painting. That’s part of why it costs twice as much or more at the real shop. They generally will also use higher quality paints and primer etc.

So glad to see similar comments to what I was about to post - this is a fantastic paint job for $2k. I think you'd likely get similar, if not (hopefully) slightly better results at over twice the price - around $5k+ from another shop. I'd call this a win. After all, you went to MAACO - you knew what you were dealing with :) I have a 1967 c10 that I had painted a completely different color through MAACO for $1500. Other shops wanted to charge me closer to $8k! Does it have orange peel and overspray? Yes. Would I have paid 5x that amount for the same color to not have that? Honestly, no. I wouldn't. MAACO is a 'good from far, far from good' company and you honestly did very well with it. I have a lower grade than you, and it still shines great after 2 years as long as you take care of it and regularly wax. Enjoy it!

For the price, I rate this an easy 8 out of 10. I'm surprised by the quality for $2K. I thought it would look like a disaster before he even got within inches of the truck.

I think Maaco's pure profit margin is heavily influenced by how many cars they do in a week. They have to repaint the cars/trucks in a reasonable amount of time otherwise they lose money. This reminds me of guy who runs a VERY high end paint shop in southern California was interviewed by Car & Driver. He said the biggest nightmare of running a boutique paint shop is the working hours. He said "I can talk about $30K (yes he charged a Ferrari owner $30K for his finest paint job) paint jobs all day but in the end, if the hours pile up too high, I start LOSING money." He works with 2-3 other guys and one reason he charges so much because he has a Mexican buddy who is VERY experienced with fixing body parts. The Mexican claims that part of the appeal of a good paint job is in the hours done with body work before even touching the spray gun and I believe him 100%. He once spent a few WEEKS fixing up a a Ferrari convertible before they painted it. (Note: they did talk to the owner and he approved all the bodywork). When they finished painting it, it looked jaw-droppingly beautiful. They showed a "low-end" job (the cheapest they offer) where they just fix up small removable parts and spray the body with just 1-2 coats. The difference was night and day although I was still shocked that the "low-end" paint job still looked incredible. The Mexican revealed one of his secrets: for the "cheap" paint option, they will METICULOUSLY sand and polish each coat one square inch at a time before the clearcoat is applied. The pictures spoke for themselves: saw two guys furiously "scrubbing" down the car an inch at a time with a shop towel dipped in polishing compound from a massive tube. Their boss doesn't buy the notion that an electric polisher is better because they can't control the amount of pressure over a square inch. The electric polisher is too large to get into small areas like air ducts and around mirror arms, etc. One final thing: the article said that the Ferrari with the $30k paint job was confiscated by the IRS! The owner was busted for money laundering and for stealing profits from his employees! The shop owner lamented "I guess I won't be doing touchup work on that car any time soon." LMFAO!

I'd call that a win. I have a White 2003 GMC Yukon Denali that the roof and hood is starting to peel off similar to your truck's before photo. Not to that extent but it's starting. I took it in to a local body shop and they quoted me $4,000 to do JUST the hood and another $5200 to do the roof. With the complaint that it's a lot of prep work sanding the hood and the roof down. And for an extra $1200 I could get the rear rocker panels replaced as they are starting to rust. And that's painting ONLY the hood and roof, total quote with rocker panels $10,400 before taxes. Yeah, I'm taking this thing to Maaco. All things considering for 2 grand they did a great job. Could they have did better prep sure but it's Maaco. For what it is that looks great and I'll be doing the same before long with this Yukon. 2 to 3 grand for a full body SUV paint job that would look about as good as your truck compared to 10 grand for just the hood and roof only. Yeah not bad at all

The key to using Maaco is to take off the mirrors, grille, headlights, tail lights, bed cover, and fender flares before you let them start on the truck. They literally just tape over those quickly which leads to paint lines and overspray. I'd even take the bumpers off so they can paint around them correctly.

You just confirmed what I was planning to do because your paint job looks good, but the taping off is a failure. I have a 97 Ram in the same PW7 white and the peeling clearcoat. I went to Maaco for an estimate for a complete paint job and also chose their Urethane I/C paint. As we walked around the truck I pointed out that I will remove all the badging and emblems, the body side moulding, the grill, the antenna, the taillights, the bed rail caps, the cargo light, and the rear sliding window. And now, after seeing your video I may remove the side mirrors and loosen the door handles and tailgate handle also. My bed will not get painted as I did this last year andinstalled a bedliner. My concerns are they will still get overspray on the weatherstripping, my new inner fender wells, the tires, bumper covers, engine compartment, etc. I may have to ask to inspect the truck before it rolls into the booth. It's been a year, how is the paint job holding up????

Better than typical Maaco job actually. Maaco does ZERO disassembly or removal of parts. NONE. If you want that done, do it yourself. ALL they do is MASK. That's what you keep referring to. Crappy masking. Not PREP. Prep is surface prep, in preparation for the paint. Rust removal or repair, sanding, chip repair, ding repair. The biggest issue with Maaco is their paint and the quantity of it. They use lousy paint and not much of it. I would love to know what that paint looks like in 2 or 3 years. By the way, white is the easiest color to spray or hide surface defects. That's a lot for a Maaco job, but I usually paint my own vehicles. Maaco is a production shop. They do 6-8 cars a day. Usually 8. That's 1 an hour which is their goal. Not a lot of time for attention to details. When you look at it like that, that's a very strong price they charge. BTW, thats BS what they call 'integrated clear'. Just another Maaco marketing term. Just cross linked or polymerized enamel.

On just about every KZitem video about people getting paint jobs from Maaco almost everyone if not every one of the people complaining about every little minor thing that they can find wrong with their paint jobs but they only paid maybe two thousand dollars for their paint jobs. So they want a $10,000 paint job for two thousand dollars if not less and they want it done to perfection.

You're exactly right. Shops don't want to do overall paint jobs because they can't charge enough or they are busy with insurance work. Customers generally have no idea what it takes to do a first class paint job. 2000.00 would barely cover the cost of the materials.

So you got the preferred paint service? I have a question, how much do they charge for their premium paint service? And would the prep work be better on the premium paint service?

I think the prep would still be extra. The premium paint job cost is for better paint and that they have to essentially paint it twice, once with base color and then with clear. The mid tier paint mentioned in this video has the clear integrated into the color so only needed to painted once.

Sadly I couldn't paint my own truck for 2Gs with the price of quality materials.
