Very impressive, I've owned 4 of this generation Honda accord. Two needed this on the paint. Same clearcoat issue. Amazing results for the price, and yes I could actually see the flake in the paint. Was very impressed by the maaco job you received. You have really saved this great car. These truly are great simple cars before vehicles were forced to have horrible infotainment which ruins their appeal to future buyers. This is the last generation of cars that weren't tainted with horrible mid 2000s era infotainment systems. I'd love to own this when you are ready to sell it.
I agree with you, one of our maaco shops paint over trim, paint over bird droppings, exhaust tips, overspray on windows, paint on rubber parts, door handle seals. You get the idea. If you prep the entire car yourself you might get a decent paintjob that doesnt last and chips.
@@aceboogie8986 That's actually what I was thinking; they probably know Randy from having done other work and maybe even watch his UA-cam channel and well, he would be the LAST person who would get the bird dropping or other egregious over-spray treatment :-)
I’m so excited for the copart video tomorrow! First, it’s my birthday and then I have my Tuesday copart walk around video with you, Randy! It really makes me happy to come home to a copart video Tuesday’s Thursday’s and Saturday’s! Tysm for your sacrifices to make you UA-cam fans happy! You work your butt off in that cold/heat for UA-cam content! That’s one heck of a challahs, I can tell you that right now! And for all the people that complain, you try to get up and be randy, it’s not easy!! Tysm again! :)
Getting my 2005 Accord painted by Maaco next week. Same color, same oxidation issues on trunk, roof and ridge on top of doors and above windows. I am having them fix a few door dings though. I am happy to see the outcome of your paint job and your endorsement of the lower cost Maaco options. Thanks for making this video, very helpful in setting the correct expectations.
The hose coming off the motor mount is actually a vacuum line. The hydraulic filled motor mounts can change stiffness via a vacuum actuated valve controlled by the ECM. This really helps reduce vibration during idle.
My 74 Monte Carlo was Midnight Blue and it shines just like the Accord. Blue in the sun light and black at night until any light hit it. Beautiful color and I loved it.
The hose that goes into the Front/Rear motor mounts on V6 Honda/Acura vehicles is basically a vacuum line. When the engine is idling, it causes the motor mount to “soften” for a smooth idle. & when the car is either accelerating or at speed it causes the mount to “harden.” It is basically the best of both worlds of engine mounts.
90% of other car you-tubers are unhappy with Maaco paint jobs, I think the person who works there actually cares about customer satisfaction. nicely done by the way.
I work for YUSA at 15:32 you can see one of our hoses! We make the engine mounts, hoses, dampers/vibration controls for Honda! I actually work on the ACTIVE CONTROL ENGINE MOUNT line. 😂
The little hose underneath the motor mount is a vacuum hose which control by the ECM, which smooth out the engine vibration during idling... I also have a 1998 Honda Accord V6 for 15 years with over 250,000 miles... I normally add the transmission fluid through the transmission dipstick...
I believe the paint called; B92p Nighthawk Black Pearl Pint I can't believe you didn't fix those little dents, been so easy. Get a small buffer wheel and with rubbing compound do the headlights and the orange peel, add cheap slip over exhaust tip to cover up paint over spray, tint windows, alignment, then detail it inside outside hood trunk. BAM DONE!
Simply amazing! Maaco isn't bad, it varies from location to location. For cheap cars, they're best! You've added so much value to that car (beyond the $700 for sure!)
@@LaMaRaGe0622 My buddy bought a new 2003. I didn't like the style nor did I like how much of the interior was made of cheap plastic. I liked my 1993 Se much more than the fat 2003 model. This one here is a pretty car. I also love hos they drive.
Car looks awesome Randy! And I know by the time you finish your work on it it will be a great purchase for someone! I love your philosophy about doing right for the next person. It's a very RARE trait these days sadly. If closer I'm sure I'd buy something from you! Good Luck to Tim. Will miss him on the channel as well as his own.
Nice job Randy! Your camera showed the blue metallic in that new paintjob. Car looks great. CAREFUL now NOT to go off the deep end putting too many things in it other than needed items. You do know, we tend to lose $$ all the time when and because we don't charge the labor we put into this iron. But, it's so much fun! Sonny (CT)
I had a 2003 Honda Civic that was exactly the same color as that. I bought it used with 10K miles on it. Loved the color in the light. Pretty nice looking Accord you've got. Keep up the great work on your channel.
Have had good experience with my local maaco. First was a full size Chevy Z71. They called me in to let me know they would have to paint it twice. They brought me in to look at it and it looked like it had dirt in the paint. Sanded it again it looked good. Second was a jeep wrangler, still satisfied.
The hose is for the vacuum actuated hydraulic dampening of the mount. Think "variable rate shock absorber" - at idle it is softer to absorb shake, at speed stiffer like a solid mount.
Maaco provides a service. Yeah they may not be perfect paint jobs, but at least they are affordable. Not everyone has money for a chip foose special. Lol. I think the paint job on the accord looks great! This car would make a great car for high school kid.
It’s a hydraulic mount but it works with engine vacuum. When you step on the gas, the vacuum of the engine stiffens the mount so the engine doesn’t jerk when it shifts gears. Honda has used that technology for ever, my 90 accord had same type of mount but in the rear.
You guys are killing me with all the negative feedback.alot of people are aware of the transmission issues,lets be realistic theres a grocery list of different make cars & trucks that have issues.doesnt stop people from buying them .keep up the good work Randy dont listen to the haters ,do you brother keep up what your doing you and weird beard are my guys .love all yous guys videos ,keep em coming.
Wow! That car looks awesome! $700 seems worth it. I think that V6 emblem is not suppose to be there, it should be below the tail light. the motor mount hydraulic hose is connected to the back side mount. The motor mount is hydraulically controlled by the ECU. You need to install the hose before you lose fluid in the mount or you'll end up replacing it again soon as it is pre-filled with fluid.
BTW I googled the hose going to the motor mount. “The automatic transmission mounts are vacuum-actuated hydraulic mounts. The motor mounts are filled with a fluid. There is a valve that controls this fluid actuated by engine vacuum. It opens and closes to adjust the stiffness of the mount when idling for a smoother idle”. I learn something every day.
My 2001 Accord V6 was my first brand new car. Here in August 2021 it is still with me, 20 years later, sitting in my side yard with 245k on it. It was my daily driver until July 2014. It never let me down, and has only lately suffered from neglect - but I can’t bring myself to part with it. These videos aren’t helping, makes me want to restore the thing to daily driver status. I’ve since replaced even the car I replaced it with, but I cannot bring myself to part with the Accord. The darn thing is built like a Swiss watch and it won’t stop running. The V6 doesn’t leak a drop of oil. The only thing that has really failed was the paint.
2001 Accord, yeah the 300 dollar with the 300 dollar sanding job sounds about right. Care looks good. I had an old pickup. It was like an 85 Ford F150 with the straight 6 in it and 4 speed manual tranny. I went through it and cut out a bunch of rust and welded in new metal and did a cheap rattle can primer and wet sand job. Maaco had a 150 dollar urethane special and I took the truck there and man it looked good. Too bad I got T boned in that truck because I loved that truck. That thing would have lasted forever. I even sandblasted underneath it and primed under and then undercoated it. Then I installed Air bags to boost the suspension so I could put a slide in the back camper in it. My buddies where like where did you get that thing painted because it looked so good.
I have a 03 Honda Odyssey and I do a transmission oil change every 15k mls and it runs like new it’s 189 k mls now no problems with the transmission and yes the bolts are really Tight I use a long Breaker bar
Maaco in Tampa did a paint job on my beater 2006 Honda Accord. Had damage from side swiping a pole by the previous owner on the rear quarter, rust on the hood, a chipped and cracked back bumper, clearcoat peel on the fenders, a lot of paint chips from door dings. They charged $1470 for that and there is so overspray in small areas like the mirror caps and all but they did a great job on mine for 1400
What you say is the exact great job I know of Maaco. I guess you are not a UA-cam vlogger or promoting their brand, so you should be ripped off and suck on all you got. That is real life and learn your experience not to make the mistake again!
Your camera is very good and shows up the the dark metallic blue paint job on the Honda really well. On my screen I could even see the colour contrast with the black paint on the Crossfire. I think the Accord is worth at least $3000 in your current market.
Excellent job. They actually pulled the Accord and V6 badges. But only put back the V6 badge in the wrong place. Still looking amazing considering the price.
Take the headlights out and get some Mother’s wheel polish and a good buffer and pad! Clean them really good first and use the wheel polish with the buffer and after one to two times they should look amazing!
FYI - there is an easier way to swap this ATF. Instead of several spill and fills, Disconnect the trans cooler line and point it at a bucket. Start the car and drain 1 qt. Turn the car off and add 1 qt. Turn it back on and let 1 qt drain. Turn it off and top off 1 qt. Etc. it will be much faster and you will get all of the old fluid out. I’ve done this before and it works very well. I don’t believe running it down only a single qt. Before topping off is an issue. Its 1 qt low for literally 10 secs.
I have owned a fair few cars, but I would always take an Accord over a BMW or Mercedes, I owned a Euro spec 2004 Accord Tourer ( station wagon ) and that thing was solid, nothing went wrong with it. 👍👍
Honestly. Stop smoking crack lmao. Beauty doesn't mean reliable. Not only is the price a rip off in general, but also a rip off because those v6 6th gen accords have grenade transmissions. They blow lol
@@glenbenton4855 Its called a highball and then the buyer will negotiate down. so you can get 3k instead of 2.5k. I'm well aware he won't get 4k for any 01 accord.
The hose is a vacuum port. The Reason your old motor mount was shorter than the new one is because the old one was deflated. The motor mount should be full oil. The vacuum port controls the height of the motor mounts to could take away vibration.
hey randy----the paint is not hardened yet....dont scratch the dust with your fingers over it!!!!takes 2 weeks till the coat is hard and resists your fingers scratching dirt over it
The motor mount is fluid filled the hose is a vacuum line that will suck the oil into the engine if it leaks the oil from the motor mount. At least that's how it was on a 2007 I worked on.
if only all maaco's painted like that. most are crap. If you know of any maaco thats as good as yours in NY please hit me up, YOU insspired me to fix up a jeep xj and when i wanna give up you bring me back and lite the fire in me to finish. Thanks man!!!
I have a 2007 and a 2015 Accord coupes, 2.4 and a 3.5 liter engines,both are Reliable cars compared to the new ones in my opinion. I don't like that Honda discontinued the Coupe and V6 also the 2.4 liter which had a time Chain instead of a belt.
Randy, consider to have a dealers license and sell those cars to the public in your own place. That Honda with a good detailing including the engine bay will add another $500 in profit. Impeccable rims, paint job (done), detailing and always reset the trip counter to '00000' will have the client satisfied.
I'm a tight ass for spending money on paint but that was well worth doing as it looks so much nicer than before, like for the money on the video it looks like a proper nice finish ,I guess modern paints help
Some Maaco's suck, some don't. I have great luck 3 times, someone I know painted a early Nova, came out great, but spent $1800. BUT!! I've seen some that were so uneven, so runny and spotty it actually looked worse then before. The Honda looks great!
Wow, I wish there was somewhere in the UK that offered a £500 paint job. I have an '82 Volvo 244 that's in great shape and has only done 74k miles but is completely let down by the chalky, faded paint. If someone could shoot it for £500 I'd be there in a shot!
Take some turtle wax chrome polish to those headlights. I use that and a drill buffer attachment. Did my cousins 02 accord and they look brand new and it lasts a long time m.

List that at $4000. Its a V6 with unworn leather, and relatively low miles for that age.
Honestly. Stop smoking crack lmao. Beauty doesn't mean reliable. Not only is the price a rip off in general, but also a rip off because those v6 6th gen accords have grenade transmissions. They blow lol
@@glenbenton4855 Its called a highball and then the buyer will negotiate down. so you can get 3k instead of 2.5k. I'm well aware he won't get 4k for any 01 accord.
4K what ?? Pesos !!
@johnny smit Cars in my area worse then thay go for more then 4k
@johnny smit he isnt aloud of make money anymore lol
The hose is a vacuum port. The Reason your old motor mount was shorter than the new one is because the old one was deflated. The motor mount should be full oil. The vacuum port controls the height of the motor mounts to could take away vibration.
It looks Awesome!! You can see that it is Blue.
Yep i see that nice blue color! Cheap paint job is great for a cheap car
For future references, always paint your car last. Take the risk out of damaging or staining the new paint.
hey randy----the paint is not hardened yet....dont scratch the dust with your fingers over it!!!!takes 2 weeks till the coat is hard and resists your fingers scratching dirt over it
The motor mount is fluid filled the hose is a vacuum line that will suck the oil into the engine if it leaks the oil from the motor mount. At least that's how it was on a 2007 I worked on.
if only all maaco's painted like that. most are crap. If you know of any maaco thats as good as yours in NY please hit me up, YOU insspired me to fix up a jeep xj and when i wanna give up you bring me back and lite the fire in me to finish. Thanks man!!!
That hose on the motor mount is a vacuum line. It's designed to stiffen up the mount under heavy acceleration.
I absolutely love Hondas from the 90s to the 2000s very good and pretty reliable cars also great video
Yess
Curtis Fleabag 98 is when they had trans issues that problem got resolved in 2004 and the 3.0 was bulletproof as well as the 08-2017 3.5 v6
I have a 2007 and a 2015 Accord coupes, 2.4 and a 3.5 liter engines,both are Reliable cars compared to the new ones in my opinion. I don't like that Honda discontinued the Coupe and V6 also the 2.4 liter which had a time Chain instead of a belt.
Randy, consider to have a dealers license and sell those cars to the public in your own place. That Honda with a good detailing including the engine bay will add another $500 in profit. Impeccable rims, paint job (done), detailing and always reset the trip counter to '00000' will have the client satisfied.
"WOW" The honda turn out great 👍
I'm a tight ass for spending money on paint but that was well worth doing as it looks so much nicer than before,
like for the money on the video it looks like a proper nice finish ,I guess modern paints help
Whoever gets this is getting a very pretty car. I'm a GM guy but i'd drive this with love. Oil changes and TLC.
I’d love for you to get more Honda/Acura sedans/coupes to fix. These vehicles are great, & are (mostly) easy to work on.
It looks beautiful! They did a great job!
Looks like a Home Run Randy !!!!! great video again !!!!
Some Maaco's suck, some don't. I have great luck 3 times, someone I know painted a early Nova, came out great, but spent $1800. BUT!! I've seen some that were so uneven, so runny and spotty it actually looked worse then before. The Honda looks great!
Wow, I wish there was somewhere in the UK that offered a £500 paint job. I have an '82 Volvo 244 that's in great shape and has only done 74k miles but is completely let down by the chalky, faded paint. If someone could shoot it for £500 I'd be there in a shot!
I really wish there was a company in the UK that would do work like that for those sort of prices.
Good content . Look foreword to the next build and house updates.
Take some turtle wax chrome polish to those headlights. I use that and a drill buffer attachment. Did my cousins 02 accord and they look brand new and it lasts a long time m.
Another great video. Thanks Randy.
The blue flake popped real nice in the sun.
i think they done,a great job,it looks wonderful,real value for money,john.
