It will pretty much go on top of anything. The problem is when you take it off. A good brand vinyl will not harm good paint, but it has the potential of tearing off chunks of a Maaco paint job. But yeah bring it by and I can check it out.

You still have my number?

Im sure I have it in a PM somewhere, Im not concerned about what happens when I take it off, but I need to get something on there. Im not sure how this happened to my paint, Im assuming spending life in Fontana just baked it. If you think its doable Ill gladly pay you to help me with it.

I dont have it, pm me with it. Ill go take some pics of it. Its hard to say It reminds me of the clear coat issue the WS6 hoods had but its over the front/sides of the car. The roof and rear bumper and trunk are fine for the most part.

Josh, the car PAINT looks like a car that has been sitting in the desert for 30 years. The clearcoat is gone and it looks semi sandblasted in places. In one spot there is/was metal showing due to the paint just wearing through. Boggles my mind.

It really depends on how long you want to keep the car, but you probably heard this a million times...."you get what you paid for"..and sometimes you get real lucky ^^^

Hey guys, a lot of these quick paint job shops like One Day and Earl Scheib are franchise buisnesses. This means every shop is a little different. Some may do crappy jobs while others actually turnout decent paint jobs. I knew an Earl Scheib in LA off Soto St where the guy that owned it did great work. He painted a 69 Camaro a left it looking awesome. Ive also been to another Earl Scheib where it looked like they painted cars with gravy. So it can depend sometimes who owns the shop and how they run it. Maybe Rpdvette found a One Day Paint where the guys there actually care and do good work. The hard thing is looking for and finding these places.

I went to Maaco in Riverside and was impressed with what I got. Its been a year and aside from the water spots (my fault), the paint looks great. I have not found any defects/mistakes, but I am no pro. And it came with a 4 year warranty.

After pricing everything out for now im probably just going to plastidip my car. I have been impressed by the results and it makes the most sense right now

I did my wheels and they have been remarkably durable. Once I figured out the best distance and technique, the results were smooth and just glossy enough to where I did not need to add any glossifier.

On an odd note, I have not noticed them get dirty either. I have not washed or wiped them down since applying it, but I have rinsed them. I did notice that if the finish comes out smooth, they don't collect dirt like a rough finish.

Good luck, and share your results.
