id say dont do it. The quality of the paint they use sucks. Im not sure if they even use primer, but i do know that its single stage paint. Meaning, theres not mulitple coats of paint and then a few coats of clear... its just ONE coat of the paint/clear combination. itl only be good for about a year or two. You HAVE to keep it waxed and take really good care of the paint.
Your also gonna get overspray on a lot of your parts, because they did a ****ty job masking somthing, or there too lazy to remove somthing.
I would either save up and get a real paint job, or find sombody on a local forum that will do it for you.
If maaco is your only route, do all the prep work your self, and leave the weatherstripping and parts you dont want painted at home, and then pay the guy an extra $50 and tell him to do a good job.
You could also try to see if theres a way for you to supply your own paint and clear? Thats gonna start getting expensive though...
