They said he should be good he paints 6-12 cars a day. He did no prep work what so ever, he walked in set his gun and went to spraying. Now I would never ever take anything to maaco to get painted, just saying this one painter was amazing. It may be worth a trip to your local maaco just to watch the painter.
Back in the day, my buddy had his '67 Buick Gran Sport 4-speed convertible painted at Maaco. The job was awesome! I've also seen a Toyota where they painted over the mud. Great gun handling comes with practice, no matter where you get it; great prep work, not so much...
