As a MAACO franchisee/shop owner, I love to hear comments like this then put guys who state them in their place with shots like this:
A beautiful tri stage Velocity Red Mica that when cut and buffed will rival anything you see coming out of a high priced shop.We use the same paint lines, the same materials, and at least in my case a higher qualified painter to do our work than other shops. However, as a disclaimer, since every shop is independently owned and operated I will say results will vary from shop to shop and I am not quite your typical owner

I deserved that... bad choice of words on my part... inherited from my dad- who used to own a body shop (about 40 years ago). I should've just said "a $99 paint job... which you really can't expect to last if it was shot in a day or two with little to no prep. Velocity red is an awesome color... really pops in the sun. Would like to see that color with some galaxy gray stripes.
