here is something to consider...

The paint that Maaco uses, isn't that much cheaper than the paint a good shop uses. The difference in cost is in the LABOR.

Painting can be labor intensive to do a 'decent' job. Maaco will spend 25 min's to tape off your car, they will spend another 30 min's scuffing it, and another 45 actaully painting it. Labor is obviously cheap for them.

Your question should be, who does a decent paint job....and don't wprry about the cost, becuase there isn't much you can do about it.

What price range were you hoping to apend, and what all did you want done?
