Default Paint suggestions

Hello all,

Am going to get my 74 a new coat of orange sometime in the near future.

I am in Columbus, OH and was wondering if anyone knew of any reputable paint shops that are either local or chains.

Anyone ever had theirs painted at a MAACO?
I have heard good and bad...

Any advice is welcome!

Thanks so much!

Wether you choose MACCO or any paint shop you get what you pay for. If MACCO is what you can afford then MACCO it is. On this forum you will prpbably get more negative comments than positive about MACCO. The botttom line will be...... Will you be satisfied with a MACCO paint job. Good luck.

There is a guy down south here south west of Dayton called the Restoration Wizard who will be doing mine. I hate to recommend anyone else's work that I can't control, but when he does mine I'll have a better answer for you. How soon are you talking?
