Check with Matt(wrx_snobordr, he just had his car painted and is raving about the place.

Actually, the Maaco in Fairless Hills is a pretty good one. A lot of what you're paying for is the prep work, not necessarily the painting... thats the easy part. You may want to stop in that maaco on Rt. 1. (across from Load Rite) and talk to the guy at the desk. I forget his name but he is very nice and a straight shooter. Whats nice about going there as well, is that they most likely have a few finished products in the parking lot. If you want to inspect the work you can do so right there.

In my opinion, I'd stop washing it and skip the paint. Thats one of the best sleepers I've seen.

nysofmind · 02-20-2005, 03:55 PM

My friend Melissa just got a basic repaint from the Maaco on Licoln Hwy. If you want to check it out give me a PM and I'll give ya my number. She paid about 550 for paint and strips. I also got mine painted by a small shop off of Bath Road. Was 1k but they also did inside the doors and truck/engine. Looks pretty good. Come check it out, I'm right in L-town
