I am looking to get my truck painted and wondering if there are any local shops / franchises folks can share reviews of.
Background: It's a 2008, Silver 4Runner with 99k miles and bodywork is in good shape rust and dents wise (no repairs to metal needed). But after much wheeling/offroading, towing bikes, overlanding and general "use as intended" in our rough winters, the pin stripes and scratches on the paint are starting to get to me. I am looking for a shop to sand down and respray the same factory color, for a general refresh.
I understand the difference between high quality/factory quality paintjob ($5-7k) and a cheaper MAACO-quality paint job ($1500). I have also already gone down the path of "paint correction" and other detailing fixes and the scratches underneath the clear coat always come back. I have made the decision to get the cheaper/$1500 paintjob, knowing fully well it's only a 3-4 year solution. Chances are slim I'll still have the truck in 3 years, and even if I do, I would have no problems spending another $2k then for a refresh.
So I am not looking for comments or thoughts on the quality of paint I need to get. Just looking for any reviews or experiences folks have had with independent paint shops or MAACO franchises in the Boston area, for a cheaper/inexpensive paint job. Much appreciated,
