If you do the prework and get the body ready and align with them to clean the paint good before they spray it, the result is great.

Bingo. The Maaco here in town has been owned by the same family since 1987. ALL of their painters have been there since 1987. I have had them paint several of my vehicles and have been VERY pleased with their work. I did all the prep, remove all the moldings, etc. They do offer 2 stage paint jobs, with a 5 year warranty. I took my truck in for an estimate and it was $4000, with NO body work. Maaco shops are independently owned and operated, so you may very well end up with a crap job. It is best to ask around for opinions.
