The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Paint Quality Issue

Wondertruck,
It seems that you have had good experience with Maaco. I like so many having a limited budget for my truck ('50 3100 deluxe) & need to watch how much I spend so I need to best bang for the buck. I was considering using another big chain called Miracle but not 100% sold yet.

I plan to remove all chrome and glass, unbolt bed and fenders, etc. I will have them probably do the interior also. Did you supply paint or were they able to match what you wanted ? I want to use the original forester green color for my year yet have the quality of today's paints such as two stage urethenes, etc.

There will be a fair amount of body work to be done but nothing that any body shop couldn't handle.

Here's my question: Will they paint the sheet metal parts seperately if I give it to them that way ? I will want to install new fender welt so why not remove the fenders all together ?

If theres any tips you can provide, I'd greatly appreciate it.
