I'm looking for a decent paint job in NoVA. So far I've found Maaco which is the cheapy sub $500 option and nice shops that will do it for $3000-$4000. There must be some middle ground. I don't need a better than factory paint job on a daily driver. And I don't want a cheapy that is gonna peel off in a year or so.

Any advice or reccomendations?

I had mine done at Brown's mazda in Fairfax. they actually didn't do the whole car... I had them not do the roof and rear hatch, and blend up the b-pillar. That prevents them from needing to remove the windows and do all that prep. They did a great job, I can barely tell and I look at the car all the time... and nobody else notices either. The paint on the roof/hatch was fine.

Overall they did a nice job, and it was about $2500 including the removal of some hail damage and dings and such.

 

You could try Mr. Spoiler in manassas. They are expensive though, but do a great job. They have been recommended to me multiple times. Just a thought....

 

Mr. Spoiler does do the best work hands down, but Nick said he's looking for a middle ground between $500 and $3000 - $4000. I personally think $3000 - $4000 IS middle ground Mr. Spoiler charges about $7K for a full show quality repaint
