Maaco has a bad rep because they do poor prep work, about 80% of a good paint job is in the prep work and takes the most time, plus even when they paint they do a horrible job overspray painting windows, mirrors etc, i've heard horror stories.

Also you have to remember good quality paint for you whole car, will probably cost $800, Maaco uses the crappiest paint so you get a cheap price.

I would only take a car to maaco that had chipping or rust on it that you wanted to sell real quick.
