yeah i did wet sand with like 400 grit then primed it then did that two times. then i put paint on it then 600 grit then wet sand. then attempted to clear coat it and let it cure for a day then noticed that the clear coat sucked. then i waited two weeks and put rubbing compound on it and no shine just dull. so any thoughts?

Hell I used MAACO in Montgomeryville to get my center taillight painted. I have had 0 problems in 6 months. NO peeling, cracking, etc etc. MAACO quality depends on a per shop basis. The only reason I used them is because they painted it for $60 instead of everyone else who quoted me $250 for a taillight to get painted...!!?? I was suprised how nice it came out though.

yea, mont co maaco isnt half bad. they wont give that rediculous show car paint but that should expected. I would recommend just giving them another try, and really work hard toward the prep portion of the work
