I'm very satisfied.

Do the prep yourself and it can look really great for a small amount of money.

The paint was $538 total cost.

Macco can sometimes do a good job. I used them for my 88 Crown Vic a number of years back. The only problem I had with them was the overspray and a few minor things. Just washed and waxed the Crown Vic a few weeks ago and it looks good.

My brother on the other hand did his grand marquis at Macco. He rarely even washed it so now it doesn't look so good.

No. They told me not to buff this paint job. They had an option to do it right for about four times the money, but you get what you pay for... and you can work off the rest yourself or with a crew of buddies.

Was this car wet sanded because if not, they did one heck of a job.

They told me they removed the clear coat before painting.
 
I gotta tell ya, a looooong time ago Maaco painted my mom's '88 Cougar LS. Me and dad took EVERYTHING off. Handles, keyholes, badges, lights.... They laid a scuff-n-shoot paint job so thin you could see every D/A mark. It lasted 6 months.... From there forward I've never considered them a viable company. I have a buddy that owns a shop locally here and BOTH times he fixed my Merc, with me doing ALL the R&R, it's been impeccable. Yours looks damn good and I admit, I am impressed.
 
Macco in what city? "Rock N' Roll Hell" doesn't come up on any map I can find.

That's beautiful. I love a white car. Wish they made a white Marauder. I like the combo of the MGM chrome trim down the sides and the Marauder wheels too.
