i haven't had experince from Maaco. but i've heard when they do the 200 dollar jobs they don't prep it or anything. like even whipe it down. i heard they turn out like crap. if you do that though. just really prep your car. make sure all wax and cleaners are off the car. i just painted my own car. lol lucky for me i could use a schools paint shop. lol anyway tell us how that goes
