- We at work "borrowed" one of my co-worker's cars -- a really beat up
- flat pea-green Chevy -- while he was out of town and had it repainted
- for him. We did it while Maaco was running a $350 special (I think
- that's half of the normal price and probably doesn't include all of
- the little extras they'll do).
-
- We picked this purple color to make the car look new and shiny but
- still remain kind of ugly.
-
- I don't know how Maaco did it but the car looks absolutely great (on
- the outside, that is :-) -- the purple color turned out deep enough
- that it's not at all ugly. That was also Somerville Maaco.
