    Default Car painted?

    I was thinking about having my car painted a different color. Anyone ever had this done? How much did it cost and where did you get it done? Also does anyone know someone who could glue some upholstery thats come undone on my doors and the cargo/overhead light is out in the car.

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    you should be able to swap the bulb for your light out really easy.

    not sure on the paint or upholstery.

    I have heard mixed results from MAACO. just depends on how much you spend

    Problem is I think it is missing the slider button that turns it on/off/when doors are open.

    I would strongly advise against re-painting your car... there are certain areas that even pros miss on paint jobs that show what the original color is. When it comes time to sell that's one of the things I- the buyer- look for. Has the car been re-painted? If so, why? 9/10 times it's because the car has been wrecked, and some people can do some amazing things without carfax finding out, so it could appear clean but in reality not be. If you really want to re-paint your car though make sure you take it somewhere good, MAACO has a history of doing a somewhat decent job, but empty your car out first- I have a friend who got rear ended and bought a new trunk lid at a salvage yard that didn't match the paint job, took it to MAACO to match it and had 15 CDs stolen and his GPS somehow grew legs and walked away.

    And for the record, Maaco sucks. They are absolutely hands down the worst place you could take your car to to get painted. If you have a complete POS or a tractor that you want painted then there $300 paint job is for you, but if you even care a little bit about your vehicle and what it looks like avoid Maaco at all costs
