I just have had my car painted at Maaco. it's done and I'll be picking it up in a couple of hours. What am I supposed to look for? Besides the evident overspray. What questions do I have to ask when picking up the vehicle?

Look closely for any inconsistencies.Small bubbles are a big problem when picking up a newly painting a car. Take the car out into the natural light and examine it for color consistency. You want an shade all over.

Ask if there's a protecting clear covering. This is standard most days, but it never hurts to ask. If you see any issues with the paint. Ask them to re do the job.
