Paint My Car?

Question

Forgive me for knowing nothing on the topic but I thought it would be cool to have my car painted. I saw a commercial for Maaco. I have an older car, it is white, and I was thinking having it painted black or something dark. Will this really work? Will it look good? Will it last for a long time?

Answer 1

If you paint it black it will really show any dents etc. in your car.

Answer 2

you can do it, and it can work. HOWEVER, if your just referring to the cheap maaco paint job for 2 or 300 dollars. then you'll be pretty disappointed with the outcome!  You need to make sure the car is prepped properly so the black paint will adhere to the old white paint.  If your looking for a GREAT paint job without any flaws and one that will last for at least 5 years, then you should be ready to pay a little more for it! Notice, that most paint shops will only warranty their cheaper work for 1 year only.
