Good paint costs as much as Maaco prices, so I doubt you are going to get Maaco prices unless you go to Maaco.

If you want a nice job you will pay for it. I pay 7-800 just to paint the hoods on the corvettes i do.

Im just saying paying 400 bucks for a paint job is just gonna be them taking your car as it sits and spraying over everything... Prep is key when it comes to paint.
