In the 8 years I've been doing this car enthusiast bit I've seen hundreds of maaco paint jobs and 1 came out decent.

i wouldnt trust maaco, only because my paint in what i deem "bad" shape looks better than some of the maaco paint jobs i have seen. i wouldn't risk it on my car at least

However... If you are driving a car that is multicolored then find you an acceptable candidate for a maaco paint job.

Not sure what you mean by "official" but most maaco jobs peel/flake off in a couple years due to improper prep or lack of additives in the paint. Especially on flexible front bumpers that are exposed to the worst conditions (70+mph highway, hitting the ground entering/leaving parkings lots).

its still pointless to spend a couple hundred bucks to get it painted and it not last, would make more sense to save up for a little longer and do it right the first time

not unless you're like most of the people that frequent this forum and don't keep their car more than a couple years.
