Maaco Paint job---Fort Worth

Looks great. I agree prep and bodywork is at least 90% of the whole job underneath the paint. What makes yours even more awesome is the fact that its sprayed black. Dark colors are the hardest colors to do on a bodyworked car as dark colors dont hide bodywork flaws, rather they highlite any flaw underneath the paint whereas a light color will tend to hide defects in bodywork.

You my friend pulled it of very well. Kudos to you. Arrow straight bodywork and black paint comes from hours and hours of block sanding hi build primer, tons of guide coat, and in general double and triple checking for its straightness. You put a lot of hours in underneath that 2 mils or so of paint thickness. Yes a painter can paint anything, but their paint job is only as good as the bodywork underneath.
You got no idea man...I knew everything you mentioned about black paint. I thought I was done a dozen times with the body and forced myself to go out and block sand some more on it. Every time I did, I'd find something that wasn't just right. I knew I'd be staring at this paint for years to come and I'd kick myself at every flaw I could see and regret not spending just bit more time on it. Long and tedious work, but worth every minute now that it's done. My first time tackling something like this....glad I did.
