OK.
Now you need to post the name, address, phone number, and exact person you negotiated with on this paint job.
Define exactly what you did to keep costs down, then ask the owner for another discount because he's going to get a line of Land Cruisers in front of his door...........
Didn't negotiate anything, pulled up the truck the guy listed what needed to be done for the paint to look nice and then I told him some extra things I wanted done like some holes filled, rust cut out and treated....things like that. I took off the stock rack (they did the ribs on their own), took the lights and grill off, the ARB front off and my rear bumper was already off because I'm putting an NWTI one on there and that was it. They actually did extra prep on their own, the wipers, door handles, mirrors, rack ribs as mentioned.....they really went above and beyond for $2100. How about this, when I dropped the truck off I asked the guy who did the quote with me how much people usually tip the guys doing the work and he said "don't worry about that these guys get paid well", he was actually pretty adamant that I didn't need to tip.
To be honest with you I would have been happy with a lot less but it looks great, the only thing that looked crappy was where the flares are going but I knew that going in because they were going to be covered up anyway. It's not perfect by any means but it's a hell of a lot more than "trail paint" that's for sure.
There are a bunch of Maaco's in the area and they all have garbage reviews but this one had good reviews, it's just a good shop I guess.
EDIT: Also removed all the decals, I was changing them out anyway
