I'm looking at paint right now myself. First things first: Do you want the same color you have now? If so: Do you really just need a touch-up? Like a few spots here, a bumper there??? Or do you want to go with something ENTIRELY different? Then ask around. I wouldn't "go Maaco". Their $250 paint job lasts about as long as a snowball in hell, so I've been told by several people. Find local body shops who will do all over paint. Visit them. Ask the workers/patrons questions. I take my car about as seriously as I would a child. I do the same kind of research into body shops as I would a daycare center.
