paint job

Hello all, haven't posted in awhile, today I did something stupid and ended up damaging my passenger side fender. at some point in the near future will have to replace it. was just wondering if I can get away with Maaco to to do the paint job to match the original color which is black. Thanks

Probably if you explain what kind of job you want. On their full paint jobs there are 4 prices depending on how good you want it. If you expect factory paint job good, then go to another shop that specializes in excellent work along with their excellent price.

Like Roadie said, it depends.

If you use the truck and just want it back to black, then Maaco is your friend.

If you want it show room condition, find someone else...

Like for example, I had some extensive rust issues fixed on my truck. It took me quite a bit of time to find a shop that would 1. repair it and 2. do a good job.

Thanks for the responses. this is just a vehicle that I use when the weather is bad, or when I need to pick up stuff from Hdepot.

Yep, it's just black metallic. Nothing special about it.

I'd just do a Maaco job and call it a day.

Thanks, I thought it would be a custom job.

Maaco recently painted my 02 or rather just the blue. The tan bottom looked good so it was not touched. The blue paint they sprayed is metallic and looks good. I'm satisfied with the job they did.
