Went to maaco today and a few other body shops..maaco was by far the cheapest, the whole car for about 500 with body work..all dents removed. The other shops wanted atleast 2k..so its gonna be maaco, im getting metalic black. it comes with a 2 year warrenty, so i think it should be good..any body have pics of a 98 style mustang thats black?

heres the deal about maaco
The nicer the car is, the nicer of job they seem to do because they know you care more.
Maaco paint jobs can be very good because they paint thousands of cars a year.
A good thing to do is to talk to the painter and slip him a hundred bucks to do an extra nice job and youll be amazed at the result'
check up daily and ask about the car and to look at it, if they know you care, they usually will. I had a 270 dollar paintjob on my accord a year ago and i sat and watched them do it on a friday all day and it turned out to be very good only one drip and the paint was good. so you could have a good result or a not so good result. It can be up to you

METALLIC Black isn't always what its cracked up to be. I had and old Yamaha FZR painted metallic black, and it almost looked Charcoal - not true black. Unless you've seen the paint applied that you are wanting, I'd be VERY careful with metallic black.
