Maaco $499 Car Paint Job Special: Two Year Update (With Car Cover)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- I got my 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor painted at my local Maaco in March of 2019. I opted to go with the $499 paint job special as I was looking for the cheapest way to have my car painted one color. Fast forward two years to today and the car still pretty much looks the same as the day I got it painted. Today I am going to show you all how the paint has aged since 2019 and I will talk a little about a couple small imperfections that have popped up since then. Just a note, while this car is stored outside, I do put a car cover over it when I am not driving it.

AH I remember what its like to be young and have a old car past its prime kept in good condition. that feeling of it being a lucky car to have an owner like yourself that will give it a good final years.
I really do like that shade of blue.
Don’t tell me that one of the OG channels I used to watch and then came back has just died
same here
Bruh moment
Yep I’ve been looking for him and found him and now the channel is gone 🙃
Wait he died or just the channel?
@@dontbethatguy7186 just the channel I believe
it sure beats having 3 different colors
Why are you not uploading anymore? Really Missing your video's
Hey man, I rarely commented on your videos, but watched a lot of them over the many years. I hope you are doing well in life where you are now. Best regards
I hope we can get an update or something soon.
Is everything okay? I miss your great videos.
Please come back 🥺
hope you are doing ok
haven't seen you upload in ages
Same I miss watching his videos :/
oh that 4runner peeking here and there, mine arrived too soon when I wasn't able to maintain it yet
It looks good, I recommend 303 protectant if you want the plastics to look like new.
where are you??
Hope you are well miss your content
I bought a brand new 91 Ford Ranger and within 3 months the clearcoat started to peel. Ford said it was no covered by the bumper to bumper warranty. In 2008 I got a $600 (sale price) Maaco single stage paint job. It sits outside and gets waxed maybe every other year and the only fading I have is on the hood. I think that is because the hood does not have a blanket so the engine heat took most of the shine off. 15 years later and still looks better than the factory paint.
Beautiful Crown Vic. Yea it seems people have forgotten about the "waxing thing" these days with newer paints and expect an older technique like this to have the same kind of durability and lack of maintenance and that's just not true.
But we make compromises. I'd rather occasionally wax a decent $600 paint job than not have to maintain a $6000 one that only looks marginally better.
gorgeous color!!! LOVE it. Thanks
63K subs, growing channel, interesting content....and he's vanished. What happened to him? Anyone know? Clearly this was his passion project so it's doubtful he just abandoned it willingly. What a mystery
yep
defn seems a bit odd for sure
his website is gone also
Yeah the fact that he hasn’t posted anywhere and all his websites are down does make it seem strange.
@@osnapitzsamd yep
I really hope he's doing ok tbh
In case anyone is wondering, he's not dead or anything lol. He's posted on reddit pretty recently (I won't make it public as if he wanted it out there he'd share it). He might just not have a need for the site anymore and grew tired of making videos, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I do miss the videos though!
@@DarkVeilGaming lol that's a relief to hear
Thanks btw
Might take advantage of that $499 special if it still exists, I live in Norfolk and have 2 junkyard revivals that need paint
Long time no see
Where are you bro its been 6 mouth that you haven't shown up
Website isn’t working
Im pretty jealous there's no where in the UK that offer such services.. you'd be looking at 1500 plus for a basic spray job. I have a classic mini and they quote me like 2500 which is over 3k dollars. I plan to go old school with a brush and roller using enamel coach paint lol
I know right? It sucks in the UK to get anything painted.
still looks good braxton!!
I love the selective license plate hiding then not giving a dang.
hope you doing good bro
what happened? is everything ok?
long time no video you got bored doing it ???
Is everthing OK? Please come back
Of course you got a Crown Vic. Good, reliable car.
That your Prius too? That's another great, reliable car.
That was my Prius, but my sister drives it now. I needed something that could haul stuff so my daily driver is a 4Runner now (yet another great, reliable, car!).
@@AAComputersandTechnology why are you not uploading more videos
The Panther Body is nice
Hey it's Thinkpad guy! Come back pls
come back
Thanks for the update vid
Yo yo my nigga what happened???
Honestly it's a nice car haha, lovely colour too.
This didn't happen be the car featured on Regular Car Reviews did it? It was blue and had Virginia plates.
Nope, that was not my car.
Hello are we still alive !?
it looks better then my 1999 toyota yaris verso....
Color looks great
Not bad, but I couldn't stop trying to check out your 4Runner. lol
I guess he cant be bothered to tell us that he moved on
I hope not but you might be right
Doesn't mean it be like this. I think something happened to him.
How many people slow down when they see you
Not very many these days. Very few CVPI's are still in use down here so I don't think people freak out as much when they see one. It's mainly Ford Explorers down where I am.
@@AAComputersandTechnology Same up here in the Pittsburgh area, lots of soccer moms have black or white Ford Explorers so it's hilarious to watch everybody slam on the brakes when they see one.
I owned a Crown Vic when that was all the cops were driving and it was nice at first as you got super respect with no one pulling out in front of you, cutting you off, whipping by you on the interstate going 100 mph, people moving over for you and getting out of your way when they see you coming, etc.
Then it got frustrating when people who couldn't get out of your way slowed down to BELOW the speed limit and you have miles to go behind them and traffic gets all jammed up around you, etc. On top of being frustrated I felt sorry for some people honestly. LOL
But I'm sure they can be enjoyed much more now that the attention is off.
where are youuuuu ;(
What happened to this channel? Anyone know?
Nobody knows sadly. His website is even down. :/
I have a white car with a factory single stage. Needs to be polished at least once per year.
Hope you doing good
Come back
And so the courier set off in his blue, shining steed, never to return...
