Mexico vs Maaco - Comparing Body & Paint Work - Final Verdict (Part 3)

In this final installment of our 3-part series, we dive deep into the results of the Maaco paint and body experience—comparing it head-to-head with the Mexican shop that painted my 1968 Dodge Dart GT V8 Convertible. In this video, we break down the Maaco process, outcomes, and surprises, and then put both experiences to the test across six key categories: Price, Timeline, Experience, Prep, Quality, and Risk—all rated on a scale from 1 to 10. If you missed the first two parts of the series, be sure to check them out: Part 1 covers the before status of the '68 and highlights how cruel mother nature was to a car sitting out in the junkyard for over 10 years along with the full journey of driving the Dart across the border, meeting up with the shop owner, and giving up the keys. Part 2 follows up with the journey down south to pick the Dart up along with a detailed walkaround and review of the finished product. For this Maaco comparison, I brought in my 1978 Plymouth Trailduster, giving us two classic Mopars and two very different paint journeys. Whether you’re weighing your options between a budget-friendly shop in Mexico or a domestic chain like Maaco, this series is designed to give you real-world insight—without the hype.
