My friend went cheapie and got a maaco jobby for like 2-300 and you can tell....it sux... better than it was but it scratches really easy... You can spend anywhere from 1000 to over 2 grand for a decent paint job...if you want it done right without that warped looking effect like you get from maaco. And if you plan to keep your car for a long time, do it right or you will just wind up spending the money to do it again.
