here in nc you dont have to report a color change, but i beleive you have to do it in cali. as far as macco goes, they do decent paint work but i would suggest prepping the car yourself which is where macco fails. they really suck at prepping.

Yea you pay for what you get, but they spend no time at all on the prep work.

Prep work is what makes or breaks a paint job.

And are you sure you can paint a leased vehicle???

And if you did, you would have to update your registration with the DMV.

You can't paint your leased vehicle. Just stick it out for however long your lease is and just get a car that you like next time.
