theres been a certain spot on my door that has always showed up kinda duller than the rest. it looked like it was a shine or glare from the side view mirror. so i ignored it.

so for the longest time i thought it was glare and nothing special. then i finally got close and noticed it was actually something in the paint! it was rough there and it had faded paint. i thought it was missing clearcoat.

then finally i got smart and took it to another body shop. they said its actually overspray and its on the middle of the door and the side skirt as well. i asked if it can be fixed. he said he'll sand and buff it for me and it will look brand new. all i gotta do is buy lunch for the shop.

heres what im talking about:

hell no. and the spider cracks on the bumper are showing through AGAIN.

if they couldnt fix it and the bumper should have been replaced they shoulda said so. intead of charging me and just laying 50 coats on it till it goes away.

its all under warranty for like 4 years, but theres no way in hell im going back. im really considering suing.

Yes, Maaco does suck the big one. Ill never take my car to them for a paint job. Thats like having a 5 year old do it with rattle cans.

nah i dont know bout that ****. i dont know how you can take sand paper to it and still have clear coat left for it to shine. i dont understand paint and i dont wanna **** nothing up.

you can get overspray off easy dude... you probably wont even need to sand it sometime just a buffer will do the trick... the state was painting a bridge here in town and oversprayed hundreds of cars and we were cleaning up a lot of them like that.. id say if you brought that car to the shop we could have her shinning like new in 10 minutes if not less.

ya a 10 minute buff job would most likely do the trick, however, wetsanding then a nice buff with the right compounds will get ya where ya need to be.
