So in the same vein, how much you spend on your paint job will be a reflection of how much you value your car and what type of quality you desire. There's nothing wrong with doing a Maaco paint job, they are probably done with better materials and techniques than were available 70 years ago. But some folks desire something closer to what the auto makers are currently turning out, and that will run into a few thousand at minimum.

Good advice. Maaco does a decent job if you do a good job of prepping first. Any paint job is only as good as the preparation. Paint does not hide defects, it showcases them. If prepped right, go to Maaco and spend about $1,500 .
