1 /5 01Dakotaquad: Had my ‘95 Ram painted at the Rome Maaco a few weeks back.
Truck looks good from 10 ft back. A closer look and you’ll see everything that wasn’t supposed to be painted had paint on it.
You’ll find paint on the gas cap, tires, window seal (front and back), all 4 of my fender flairs, tail lights. 1/4 Inch gaps where there should have been paint but due to bad prep work, it was missed. There’s a bridge of paint from the trim to the metal, which is asking for contamination to enter and cause peeling.
Awful prep work, sadly.
Went back and forth with the front desk a few times about all the overspray and the trim (which is now ruined) and they wanted to charge me $400 to fix their mistakes. Literally would have avoided all this shoddy work if the prep was done correctly and the trim was taken off, which would have taken 15 minutes per the owner.
Their version of making this right is “touching up”. Basically painting over the RUBBER trim again with black paint, over their white paint. If you care for your investment, have it done somewhere else.
