Car (Truck) of the Day - 1995 Chevrolet Silverado - Paint Job

This 1995 Chevrolet Silverado is typical of an older truck whose paint is at the end of its useful life. The original clear coat is peeling off the top surfaces in large patches. Maaco-Fremont reconditioned this old, delaminating paint, feather edged most chips and scratches, and refinished the entire truck for a much better look.

Car of the Day - 2008 Honda Accord - Autobody Repair

Maaco-Fremont repaired a big dent on the left quarter panel of this 2008 Honda Accord Sedan. Please note that it was raining heavily during the days we did this work so you may notice some rain drops in the "after" pictures--these weren't defects of any kind. It is probably also important to note that all of painting and paint curing are done inside sealed booths with computer controlled atmospheres. So unlike some shops that have difficulty painting when the weather changes, our paint jobs have the same quality no matter what the weather is like outside.

This Camry is typical of older cars whose paint is at the end of its useful life. The original clear coat is peeling off the top surfaces in large patches.

Car of the Day - 1987 Porsche 944 - Paint & Bodywork

Maaco-Fremont received this great older Porsche 944 with a not so great paint job and horrible gang symbols scratched into the bodywork. The car had a brand new engine and mechanically was in excellent shape but as you can see in the photos, it looked terrible. Maaco-Fremont repaired the key scratches, welded the holes in the front panel and painted the entire car using our Presidential Paint Service with 2 year warranty. We also returned it to very near its original color.

Car of the Day - 2001 Honda Civic Coupe - Collision Repair & Paint

This 2001 Honda Civic Coupe was involved in a minor front end collision that damaged the front bumper and the driver's side fender. The customer had an insurance payment to take care of the damage. Since he was going to have the car at the shop, he was interested in fixing some other problems at the same time: scrapes on the doors & rear bumper. In addition, previous damage or maybe excessive heat from the engine was causing the paint on the hood to look bad, like someone had used a scouring pad on it. The problem looked like a severe case of microchecking or maybe someone tried to scrub away some peeling paint.

We repaired the damage to the fender & bumper, reconditioned the failing paint on the hood and then painted the entire car using our Supreme Paint Service with a 4 year warranty.
