The rear door, rear quarter panel, and trunk lid of my car were repainted at Maaco approximately 4 years ago. Overall, the paint job hasn't stood up very well. The main issue is that the clearcoat didn't adhere to the paint (on the door and trunk only for some reason), and it chips easily and is starting to peel in places. It's not that bad (the average person on the street wouldn't notice), but it's below my expectations of how durable it should be given the age of the paint job. On the other hand, it probably looks a lot better than it would have if it had not been repainted.

The paint itself looks OK (metallic paint is even and matches the rest of the car well) but the overall quality of the job isn't up to the same standards as the original finish.
