All I can say is stay away from MAACO. Unless you don't mind your paint job sucking and only lasting a year. For a quality paint job of your entire Bronco you can expect to pay between $2500 and $4000. The price can go up if body work is needed, if it's two-tone, etc.

I agree!
Find a local body shop(s) and get some estimates woth you doing the prep work. Then get on-line and read the prep info available.

it may be expensive but ford dealerships with bodyshops usually do the best work, if they dont have a body shop then ask them where they send their cars and trucks for body work |

Brandon, I agree with everyone else on this issue! DO NOT mess up your Bronco with a cheap paint job from MAACO or Earl Scheib or any of those $99 deals!!! They use the cheapest paint, like that used on trailer houses, and it will not last even a year. You can check with a few body shops and get an estimate from them, but most will charge you around $2500-$3000 for the paint and prep work alone. Any body work, like dent or rust repair, is extra. One other place you can go to is your local auto parts stores and ask if anyone does paint work on the side. That's how I got such a good deal on mine. Found a guy that was retired but owned a body shop for 35 years, and still dabbles in a car or truck in his garage. I got a show-quality paint job for under $1500!!! Check out my gallery!  |

Maaco isnt terrible, i talked to them, i supplyed the paint and like they told me you get wut u pay for. i paid 2500 with all my bodywork and paint and its great looking. check out my gallery, they took off my top and reinstalled it. That price includes everything though, i stripped the inside, underhood, and outside of all emblems. they gave me a great warrenty.  |
