Where to Paint my truck?? freelance or franchised...

[tripleblack]

I am about to paint my truck and i was wondering where and what kind of paint. Reason why i ask is because i have had several references for people who do freelance work and some who own their own small paint shop. I have had a bad experience with a guy who repaired my cab who was a freelance worker not because of quality but because of time. It took him over a year but he had originally said 2 months. But the cab turned out good so i was pleased in the end. Now i want to paint and i was wondering if i should go with the franchise places or are they no good? for example Maaco is appealing (i know some people may think i am crazy) but there are some others in the Houston that are similar. I am not using any crazy color either it is just going to be black. Thanks for the input.
