top ofthe line isnt $400
you can get a good gun for that, but not the best one out there.
the Sata i like to use is around $800
give me a good gun, i can still make a mess
give me a cheap gun i can make a bigger mess
i dont have the patience to paint much.
spray bomb rules....

I think the key thing is patience. Let the coats dry before reapplying. Rattle can paint job FTW! People loved the look of my old 97.

i said it once and ill say it again..STAY AWAY FROM MAACO PLEASE!!! ITS A TOTAL RIP OFF..I GOT MY NEON PAINTED LAST YEAR. 700$ PAINT JOB AND IT SUCKS MONKEY *** FROM A STROW!..please dont support MAACO! they are asses and cant paint right
Thank you for your "professional" reponse. They do, do a good job as I know a few people that get there cars done there without a problem.. Its all about who is working there at the time your car is there..
i dont want to start any arguments or bashing..BUT HAVE U HAD UR NEON PAINTED AT MAACO?. IF NO, THEN I DONT THINK U SHOULD BE QUESTIONING MY "PROFESSIONAL" RESPONSE. i have had my car painted there and off hand i can tell u they suck. i am confident that about 95% of the people who have had there car painted at MAACO would agree with me. If you pay them less than 1200$ for a paint job, then u can expect a lazy *** job..thank you very much..goodnight 8===='===D~~

It can last a long time if it is prepped correctly.
