I have owned my 2006 Charger Daytona Go-Mango since 2014. I have only done a few modifications which are an SRT hood, a Hurst shifter, Daytona red caliper covers, front and rear strut braces, R/T emblems redone in orange. I had a bad clear coat failure on the entire top portion of the car. I just did all the body work and prep and got the Maaco special which I am pretty happy with. I just got the new Daytona stripes and plan to put them on today.

I like that color. It looks like they did a nice job. I have had my share of Maaco pain jobs on older vehicles through the years. The last one IIRC, was an '83 Plymouth Grand Fury, that was a retired Ohio State Patrol car. Back then, their color was a semi dark silver. I went with pretty dark Navy blue color.

Looks good. Was that the basic single-stage Maaco paint job?

Thank you, I remember the 80s Grand Fury's very well!

Thank you, Yes single stage Enamel with a Urethane clear coat. Looks great in the sun, the metallic shows well, the pics here make it look dull.

Oh, that's interesting. They generally offer straight enamel, single-stage enamel with urethane catalyst, or basecoat/clearcoat. I restored an '05 300C a few years ago and went with the single-stage enamel with urethane. Prepped and masked it myself. Pretty happy with it for the modest cost.

Yes they had the cheapest option at $399, enamel with no clear mixed in, the most expensive was base coat clear coat. I went middle of the road.

Installed my stripes today. A breeze took one and folded it in on itself but I was able to save it!

Sounds like we got the same paint package. Noticed the rolled exhaust tips, are they original?

Thank you, The tips aren't original and were on the car when I bought it. I believe it's a Mach Force exhaust system.
