be careful knocking maaco. around here a local paint shop can pay to use the maaco name. the shop i went to would do paint jobs as low as $300 or for the money they could do a show quality job. i drove by there every day
and checked all the cars they painted for a couple months. i talked with the guy and asked him about each job and how much it cost. i did most of the prep work. body work is time consuming, if a shop charges $50-60hr that can add up quick. i had them paint my truck a toyota metallic silver base coat/clear coat. i paid $2100 and could not be more pleased. the 300 dollar job is no prep they just lay down some cheap paint or corse its not goiung to
last. if you want a good job be willing to spend some money.
